How much HP/TQ to tow a stacker?

[jmcarter]

Toters and Super C’s are tuned for TQ rather than HP and of course have much higher hitch ratings. Think we’ve all seen some hefty trailers on hitches rated for 12 or even 10K. Mike can share what happened to one of his buddies on Jellico Mountain, scary stuff.

Thanks for all the replies. I ended up finding and purchasing a 2004 travel supreme with the 8.9 400 Cummins. Pick it up this weekend so I guess we’ll see how it does when I get it home. I think and am hoping it will do good.

I just saw this. But I have a 09 Haulmark/Freighliner toterhome with a Cummins ISC 330 (330hp/1000tq) in it. That is bone stock no tuner no nothing. I pull a 44’ GN stacker trailer. I’ve had both my 4th gen Firebird Racecars in it plus my C6 Corvette, a golf cart and all the normal crap you take to the racetrack. And it goes just fine. Crazy part is at 75 mph (where the limiter is set). It gets the exact same fuel mileage with it without the trailer behind it. You’re not going to run 75 up Monteagle or the WV toll road. But it will go up it just slower. You have another 100hp and another 255 of torque. I’d say you’ll be good.
