Re: Complete T5 swap thread - one way to skin the cat

I found this, which was apparently taken from original vehicle spec's, 5spd manual was listed as standard equipment, horsepower was listed as 180 with a 4.6L V6

Payload & Towing 2WD
Standard Towing (lb.) 1600
Maximum Towing (lb.) 5900
Standard Payload (lb.) 1246
Maximum Payload (lb.) 1622
Standard GVWR (lb.) 4200
Maximum GVWR (lb.) 4600

I also read that in general maximum towing should not exceed GVW, max Maximum GVW Rating on my truck is listed as 5000lbs..., 18' trailers are well under that, I would think that pulling a 3000lb trailer 3-5 times a year shouldn't be an issue.
