Yes, but the station wagons back then were full framed and had rear leaf springs.
My Dad pulled a travel trailer with Mom, Dad and 5 kids in the car. The last wagon was a 73 Ford wagon with the 460 C.I. and had coil springs, he traded it in on a 76 Suburban, because even with the W/D hitch he could not get the hitch setup to handle the trailer that the old wagon would. The suburban was a puller.
as a family we covered 46 of the 50 and across both borders pulling a camper.
Since then I have now completed the last 4 states. cross another one off the Bucket list.
