towing bobcat with c1500 ???

Posted by andy the barber on May 02, 02 at 05:36:43:

Never towed anything in my life, so pardon the potentially ignorant question.

Gotta pull a bobcat (rubber tired skid loader, if you want to get technical) on a trailer with my 99 C1500, has factory hitch, etc. Only going to pull it about 75 miles total. Have auxilliary transmission cooler, live in Kansas so no hills. (People in Kansas consider the Salt Flats 'hilly.") Bobcat and trailer must weigh about...well...probably a lot. Just want to make sure that I'm not going to damage anything.

Thanks in advance,

Andy
