hello i want to get a funrunner. the dry weight is 4000lbs i would be placing 2 dirt bikes (both about 200lbs)in it. i have a 98 f150 4.6l with the off road package. would my truck pull the load?
thank you for your help

 

You can pull it. Any steep grades will be felt. If you don't have an auxillary trans cooler, get one. It'll handle better with a weight distributing hitch.

 

im glad to here that. the trans cooler how much is it and is it possible for me to install.?

 

Just go to your favorite auto parts. They'll have one. Get the biggest one they have. They're easy to install.

 

Are you sure that you don't already have the tow package on the truck? They come with oil coolers. Look through the big slit in the front bumper. If there are two mini-radiators, you have the oil coolers. You'll have no problem pulling it (I have and almost identical setup. What's your rear end ratio? I have 3.55's, and don't notice my 3k boat unless pulling a pretty steep hill. Of course, a boat is a lot more streamlined.

 

i honestly dont know what the rear end ratio is but i would like to know how to find out. i do have the tow package and i do remember seeing the two radiators and thinking they were for the heater.

 

No, one is for the power steering pump, the other is trans oil cooler. On your drivers side door sticker, there will be one of the following:

19 – 3.55 Non-LS
18 – 3.08 Non-LS
H9 – 3.55 LS
B6 – 3.73 LS

There you go.

 

Yep, she'll do fine. Just don't get crazy fast if your not used to towing, and watch your stopping distance. That can get you in trouble.
