Can the Blazer tow that much? My son-in-law has a 7.6 mtr Stabicraft & I've hooked it up to my truck but not pulled it. The Stabi with full load incl full tank of gas weighs in at around 3200 kg. One day I'll try it on the motorway & see how it feels. Just stands twice as high & almost twice as long as the poor old Blazer. LOL Darren tows with a 4.0 ltr V6 Explorer - does the job but scary at times.
See pics in my album.

Yeah it tows pretty good with a decent load on the back, biggest trailor I have had on was a 6 meter tripple axle tandem with 5 size 9 bales of balage about 750kg each

hauled a load of scrap with it. 2,000 pounds plus the trailer
it didn't like it . ran 210 on the temp the entire way in 3rd.
really need a half ton. lol . the blazer can pull, but definitely can't match my k5 v8.

^^^ you two guys are posting that stuff in the wrong thread.
and bluebalzer, there is definately something wrong with your truck if it's dying with only 2500lbs on it (or so. guessing the trailer weight). i've towed my car trailer (1500 lbs dry) dozens of times with my '98, and currently have a '96 Jetta on it. will cruise @ 70 mph no problem. towed even more than that with my '92 Jimmy blazerboyz.
except for fuel!
here's a LINK for you guys. (if you want)
ummmm.............that's actually LAW.
that's why you always see trailers advertised as being able to carry 2900 lbs, and not just a nice even 3000 lbs. 'casue @ 3000 lbs & up, you need brakes. regardless if they're electric or hydraulic.
