1986 GMC Camper Special 1 Ton Dually: Max tow capacity?

Hi,

The GVWR for that dually is only about 10,000 pounds, about what a 2005 and later F-250 SRW is. They have really improved the trucks over the years, and this one did not benefit from those improvements.

The fuel mileage will be something to worry about - perhaps 5 or 6 MPG while a slightly newer truck with 4 speed will get 9-11 MPG towing an equal load. Sure you will save a lot on insurance and buying it, but will spend a LOT on gas and perhaps a replacement transmission or other major parts.

Good luck,

Fred.
