towing strain
How much of a strain to tow a2008 Saturn vue behind a 1995 class a 35 ft 460 ford unit only has 28k and is perfect. Is it worth it to tow without putting a strain on it THANKS

Follow some of the advice here and do the numbers to be safe.
May want to have the hitch strengthened some and be sure to install toad braking. Knowing how to handle down hill descents are usually the problem for some and not with climbing mountains.
Strains are usually on the transmission if they're going to be anywhere.
Having said this and with a 98 gasser, we pulled a ton over specs. and for years, all over the US, with no ill effects, other than making some allowances for long 6% grades. Again it was with the 4L80E GM transmission for being the weak link. Your Ford tranny, should have a much better rating.
