Re: [Amc-list] Towing Capability - 1960 Classic 6

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have not yet had the pleasure of driving behind a
196 with or without O/D except for a few brief trips
using my roomates 63 Classic wagon back in college.  I
would think if you are not driving in the mountains
too much and you're not in a big hurry, the 196 OHV
should handle a 1,500 pound trailer OK.  I would not
expect to use the O/D feature too much with the
trailer hooked up.  You will probably be driving in
third gear a lot.

Others, I am confident, will have opinions on this.
