Next truck will have a 3.4_ or 3.7_ rear for sure. Can't believe I did not consider that every once in a while I may need to pull something. Last truck had 4.10s and max package and I towed twice during the time i had it. I buy this truck and now I need to tow. If I could go back I would have got a beefier rear.

Taking a fbody z28 to 300miles along 90west- very flat to Toledo and back home.

Opinion......

Can it, yes, will it hate life? Probably so. Motor and transmission will help

Install an auxiliary transmission cooler first.

Yep, take offs will not be quick but once you get the weight in motion it should be fine.
