Default Towing Question

I have a 2000 Blazer ZR2 4x4 and I would like to know if anyone is pulling an enclosed trailer with 2 motorcycles.

Blazer has a V6 4.3 Vortex engine

Motorcycles are 750lbs each
Trailer weight 1500lbs

Will my truck pull this weight or am I going to over work it. Would you recommend any additional trans coolers?

Thanks for any feedback.

You can pull it easy but I would recommend getting an external tranny cooler.

I pull a car on a car trailer every once in a while. I leave it out of overdrive when doing so.
