Towing Knowledge - Advice needed.
I need some help from members who are knowledgeable with towing, etc.
I've got a 1978 Chevrolet K20 4x4 (3/4 ton, 8 ft. bed) pickup back in WV that my grandmother gave me. It was my grandfather's farm truck and it is not in the best of shape, but I would still like to have it and restore it over the next few years. It would not be able to be driven back to MI since it has sat for so long. I'd like to tow it back to MI, but I'm not sure that I can.
I've got a 2005 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 Sport Edition V6. I don't think that it will tow the pickup on a trailer, but I wondered if it could pull it back with a tow bar. I have not been able to find out an exact weight for the pickup, but a 1988 3/4 ton 4x4 weighs 4,692 pounds. I believe my 4Runner will pull 5,000 pounds.
Hopefully some of you have some experience with towing, etc. and can tell me what you think.
Thanks in advance.
