WHAT IS THE WEIGHT LIMIT ON TOWING WITH A "86" EL CAMINO? I CAN'T FIND IT ANY PLACE I LOOK.

I would guess about 3000 pounds depending on suspension engine tranny and other particulars, L89SEDAN

May or may not be valid, but hitch installers such as u-haul have lists of allowable hitches per each vehicle.

Here in Az you see alot of them pulling boats. I've got a 80 El Camino with a frame receiver hitch and I've towed my 3500 lb. boat for years. The car has 245/60 15s air shocks and posi. Trailer brakes don't hurt.

hey, speaking of doing, does anyone know where i might be able to find an under car receiver (preferably class 3) for either a 68-72 chevelle coupe or wagon? my father and i have looked everywhere, from u-hual dealers to junkyards, and have had no luck.
thanks.
