Well? I need to figure out if I can pull one on a trailer with my dad's V8 Dakota, it's minus engine, rear glass, and engine lid. I'm figuring it is missing around 350-400 lbs. m/l with these parts absent? What are your thoughts?

OK, tuna's site lists 2,430 lbs., so that would probably put me around 2,000 lbs. (forgot minus bumpers too).

Engine probably only weighs 200 to 250 at the most, me and the wife can pick up a type 4 engine pretty easy and she is tiny.
