The half ton truck brakes' ability and weight is what determines my personal max limit of 10k. Now yer 302 isn't gonna win a speed record at all and you'll be in second gear if in hills, but the E4OD if cooled properly and fresh fluid can take that in any gear all day.

I pulled my 6100 lb trailer for 10 years with 302/auto 3.55 89' Bronco. It was more then it wanted to tow....99' 5.4 made the hills much easier.....
