Re: How much HP/TQ to tow a stacker?
Billy, Not trying to state the obvious but more is always better. Have no experience with the engines you asked about. Have pulled 24’ stacker, two cars, golf cart, misc tools with a Bluebird Wanderlodge weighed about 47000, trailer about 15000. Power was a 500HP Detroit Series 60 with Allison Six speed trans. Going from Denver to Sonoma was a bit of a struggle. On flat ground no issues at all. Current rig is Showhauler with 450HP, 10speed trans weighs about 35000, 28’ stacker with two cars, golf cart, lots of stuff, weighs about 17000. Pretty much no issues anywhere. Another issue towing a stacker is making sure you have plenty of brakes. I know you know all this, gues I’m just restating the obvious.
