1997 v6 tow vehicle

Would this truck be able to pull " safely" a 1975 27 ft. overlander rear bath . The distance would be quite short , 15 miles , with some hills & gravel road.I have a class 3 frame hitch already on this truck . Any info would be helpful

It would be easier to help with more details, sounds like you are underpowered for sure though. Maybe if you post your location somebody would be close enough to give you a hand getting the coach where it needs to be in a safe manner.

If you are just moving the trailer, perhaps it would do, depeding on how large those hills are....additionally a class 3 hitch is WAY too underclassed to be thinking a long(er) term solution. If you did decide to do this, which I'd have to say is questionable at best, I'd be very, very careful.
