Towing with a V6

I think that a trailer would be a better option. I have towed two different K-5's with my S-10 Blazer. The one i towed with a dolly was a pia i used up about 10 gallons of gas for a 100 mile trip. The next time i towed one i used a 20 ft car trailer with trailer brakes and sway bars. That time i towed the K-5 about 400 miles with no problem at all and even got 16 miles to the gallon. Just make sure you have a large tranny cooler and keep it out of overdrive
in drive not over drive and it will be a dooggg no power.
You will definitely want trailer brakes. I've had to do a panic stop in my S-10 while towing a trailer made from a mini-truck, carrying just a 14 bolt and a 10 bolt axle. It took WAY longer than usual to get it stopped. Towing a K5 you're talking about nearly 6,000 lbs. that will be pushing you along. That could get major league scary...
