Mate ive blown 7 boxes in 35ks all from towing (4spd auto). Not sure about the 6sp auto but you will destroy the std clutch too.

I would be just as worried as having an accident and the insurance company not covering you if you are towing more than the factory specs Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/37437-xr6t-ute-towing/page/2/#findComment-564698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
