I tow the M114A1 (6tons) on a 9 ton tri-axle tag with my 2000 3500 Chevy
(454) that's about 16,000 lb, I know that's a little too much but I have
never towed it over 100 miles. How much does the deuce weight.

Subject: [MV] Tow Vehicle for a WW2 deuce
Esteemed list,
I've currently got a GMC 2500HD with the Vortec 6000 engine.
(300 HP @
4400 rpm, 360 lb.-ft. @ 4000 rpm) (stats from the GMC website)
I'd like to be able to tow my 1942 deuce to events (up to 800
miles away),
so I'm afraid I'm going to have to upgrade to a 1 ton truck with a
diesel
engine. (not to mention the fact that the diesel will get better mileage
&
longer life) From what I can tell, just the weight of the deuce is more
than the recommended towing limit for my current truck.
Does anyone have any recommendations of the minimum truck to
look for when
planning on towing a deuce? Also, if anyone would like to say what they
tow, what they tow it with, and the good/bad of towing that specific
combination. I'd really appreciate any advice and experience that guys
can
share with me. (I tow trailers quite often, just never any this heavy)
Right now I'm also planning to upgrade from my 16' bumper pull
flatbed to
a 25' gooseneck flatbed so I can tow the deuce, or two jeeps, or a jeep
and
a 1/2 ton dodge weapons carrier.
Thanks,
Brian Mead
