Seen many pictures of guy's hauling boats, small RV trailers and such. Don't know if I would hook a car hauling trailer to one.

Hhhmmmmmmmm.......I have a 300 ci in mine and a 1 ton spring package.
nice big hitch welded into the back.
Bet I can haul about anything reasonable.
The trailer you pull has much to do with it too. A nice balanced double axle with electric brakes goes a long way.

Depends on the GVW rating I would imagine. My buddy has an A-100 pickup with the 5200# GVW. He has it set up to tow his car trailer and well that 400 big block doesn't hurt either.
