A 30 Ft Trailer...

I am sure it will pull it... Stopping it may be another question..

As well, if you are going to pull a 30 Ft Trailer( I don't recommend this ).... You will want a trans cooler and you'll want to make sure you have a Heavy Duty Cooling Radiator..

As well, you would be asking a 3.1L V6 at 120 Hp and 175 Ft Lbs to pull a lot of weight... The van on its own is in the 3600-3700 Lb range...

It also uses the smaller 3T40 Trans... You should be able to get a Class III hitch for the van..

I know I can get a class III hitch for my 95 TS... But the 94-95 Transports had the upgraded brakes... Bonneville Rotors( IIRC ) and Camaro Firebird calipers and pads.. As well I have the benefit of a 3800V6 and the larger 4T60-E Trans... Even with my Van I don't think I would want to pull a 30 Ft trailer due to the safety factor...
