I wouldn't want to do that.

Now the 3rd gen with it's 430lb of torque should be able to keep that load moving easier, and it has a max rating of 7,700 lbs, but I still don't think I'd want to do that...or at least, not real far.
I'll be testing this summer. I've got to haul the Chevelle to the shop for a new transmission so I'll be pretty close to 7k.
