I haven't ever towed anything with my truck aside from a jetski and small trailer due to the fear of transmission issues. So when a friend asked me to help him out, I was a little hesitant. I decided that I had to break her in somehow... towed a Isuzu Rodeo for a friend.

that was an easy tow for you jamison. those car dollies take most all the tongue weight and provide very little rolling resistance. it wont hurt anything. i love towing. just fun for me. but one day my trans will decide otherwise. for now at 145k miles ill just have to wait for the inevitable.

Considering all the tongue weight was on the dollie - it seems like that truck is squatting quite a bit. But agreed - thats an easy tow..

I tow almost daily - 150k on the tranny with the 6.0 motor too - no issues. And I have towed some big stuff!

Tried to tow an old 80's Cadillac Brougham, that was locked up, earlier this year and snapped my transfer case chain. Won't do that again. My k3500 yanked it out of the way without even stepping on the gas!
