I towed my N6.0 from Houston to Destin this year for RTI 2002.

I do have a Dodge Dalota Quad Cab, with 5spd, v-8, and the trailer towing package factory.

We pulled it at 85mph, NO PROBLEM. My boat and traler probably weigh close to 800ish, then my box, another 1-200ish, I figure the entire thing is about 1,000 lbs, +/- 200.

Although I know people who have had the boat picked up by crosswinds, it has to be pretty extreme.



Personally, and this is personal, auto tranny's aren't worth it. Lucky for me my wife also drives a manual. They're heavy, less efficient, slow, etc. I want to be in the gear I put it in, not what some engineer wants me to be in.
