Mercury Montanieer 5.0 V8

Do you think i will have any trouble pulling a single quad trailer with a blaster on it??? Whats the most weight you think i could pull with this if i had a heavy duty hitch on it?

No, you shouldnt have any problems hauling that kind of load. Most v6 cars can haul a single place trailer and a light, sport atv.

I would say your tow rating is probably around 3-4k pounds.

You will have no problems pulling that load. We have one and we pull a 16' trailer with 5 quads on it with no problems.

I think you'll be more than fine. I'll be pulling my trike and trailer with my 4 cyl 2.0 Jetta.

IIRC, that 5.0 is a variation of the older pushrod Mustang engine.
