Re: [RC] Engine RPMs While Hauling - Sharon LevasseurI guess I'd be interested to hear that as well. I've got a gasoline 5.3L V8 hauling a 16' steel GN stock trailer with 1-2 horses in it. I've never seen the RPMs over 3k, and it's usually about 2k. It never occurred to me that I should worry about the number... I just don't let it shift into a gear that makes the engine scream, if you know what I mean? -Sharon L. in Maine Quoting Val Nicoson <vnicoson@xxxxxxxxx>: I have a 1/2 ton truck pulling a 3-horse BP trailer and the truck has an RPM meter on the dash display. It has a gas engine and a 4.5 or 5L engine...don't know which. While hauling 2 horses today I noted the RPM read 2-1/2 and up to 3 on occasion...depending upon my speed and the terrain. So I'm just curious at what RPM reading does it show the truck/engine may be straining vs not.
