Trailer is 2200.. truck is 4200..thats 6400 lbs
Ahhh, copy that.
Wagoneer with me 5300. Plus whatever a th400 and 1339 weighs.. lol so i think total weight was like 12000+ lbs. And yes.. i was rocking my body back and forth going up hills to help it haha as i was dropping to like 40-45 mph.. wide open throttle. Oddly though i never felt any pull of fish tail or anything that felt like the trailer wanted to control my Jeep.
And braking wasnt an issue either. I never felt unsafe even in situations i had to brake hard on. One of which someone ran in front of me at a gas station and i had to stop immediatly.
The only struggle was (moving) at stop lights in town it took a bit to get speed. You deff could feel that weight there. I think this is the reason the 360 is rated 5000lbs. And the 401 is rated 7500lbs. There is no physical diff between wagoneers other than that and gearing. I think the older ones mighta had 3.55 or 3.73 gears and i have 3.31
One hill i was going 30mph up wot.. it was very steep and very long..
So suffice to say that 360 was screaming for more hp/torque lol..
Interestingly enough it never overheated.. got to 220 max up a few hills.. then dropped immediatly.
I often wonder why this J10s frame is 3/16th thick thlugh if it has the same load and towing capacity as a wagoneer.. dana 44s limit your total gvwr and such.. so why is a J10 frame so darn thick. Its confusing. I know off topic
