How many of you have pulled a Toad with a 8v71 with the 6 speed auto trans and how was it

Many here pull a toad behind an 8v71 fine. Getting up to speed may take a bit longer and grinding up steep inclines may lose a bit of speed but folks get to their destinations.

Before turboing my 8V-71, I towed my '84 Mercedes 300D (3,750lbs) behind my AMGeneral transit bus with a 3 speed Allison V730. Only once did I get down to walking speed. Now with it turbo'd, no problems at all. Turboing the 8V-71 REALLY wakes it up. Good Luck, TomC
