Re: 87 Towing
Mechanical condition and frame rust and trailer hitch is the first thing to check.
If in good shape they will pull there heart out. MT

Re: 87 Towing
Sorry I do not have the numbers.
You might look in owners manual for towing specs. But I see no problems. Just make sure you cooling system is clean and good and the rad is big enought and good. And change coolant if it has 3 yers or more on it. A good big extra tansmission coller is best for towing. And give the transmission a pan drop and new filter and dexron fluid. Good Luck MT You sholld be set to go.
