Need help, broken down

Hi all,

I have a 06, 5.4, 4X4, Lariat, scab, 5.5 box, 3.73 rear.

My dillema, is I have an 01 chevy blazer, S-10, two door, 4X4, 4.3. broken down 288 miles from my house. I want to rent a car hauler, and go get it.
Will my truck handle the weight of the trailer and blazer? Need to do this very soon. Where it is parked the folks are getting edgy!

Well, Raoul wasn't around, so I figured I'd fill in. hehe

I know the situation sucks, I hope you can get it taken care of easily, and most of all cheaply.

I want some of what he's smokin'

He joined the site 20 years before Al Gore even invented the internet.

And here's another question, didn't the Honda Hawk get introduced in the late Eighties?
Not only how did he know he'd own one back in 1969 but, how did he know that's what Honda would name it?

Pretty spooky if you ask me.

Ok, I confess. Back in 2017, I was messing with some surplus neodymium, liquid helium and a couple 3 phase motor-generators. I was trying to invent a new kind of "instant toast machine" to make breakfast go much more quickly.

I had rigged my old terahertz oven into operating with the door open and connected the power tube between the two "B" phases of the MGs and cross coupled the "A" and "C" phases back through some old synchros for control input. I forgot to take into account the time shift when some of the crumbs I didn't get cleaned out got accelerated to near relativistic speeds, hit the supercooled neodymium, and generated a sustained tachyon beam...

The rest, as they say, is history.
Or at least will be.
Or something.

I don't know which thread is making me laugh harder.
This one or the fuel filter thread in the engine forum!

Should cost you 50 bucks for 24 hours. U-haul won't rent you a dolly, the Blazer is over the weight limit for one. The dolly is only 10 bucks less anyway. Class 3 hitch is required.
