Hi Rich,

I pulled a 14ft x 75ft 4 axle from Co to AZ, about 650 miles with a Dodge 400, 2spd diff, 4spd, 318ci, about 10000lbs. Trailer was about 25000lbs with 3500lbs tongue weight. It did ok, all though just slow in the mountain passes.

My book list a WD45 at 45hp and 5000lbs. That's a little light to handle a 12ft x 70ft on hills from just the weight. It would have enough power to pull it.

I would use a 1ton dually 4x4 without worry for just a 2 mile trip. The trailer axles should be brake axles so no problem stopping.
