[Shotimes] Towing with an ATX?

[Ron Porter]

I also agree with the shipping idea. Apart from any car issues, why add the towing grief to a vacation, plus the added expense of gas, etc.
   
  Anyway, unless your car will be fully loaded with passengers and luggage, a 1,000 #s or so on a trailer really isn't that much. Towing up & down mountains in 100-degree heat adds a level of stress, but just that amount is not that bad for a normal tow.

  I've had an antique wood lathe in storage in Ontario Canada for the past 5-6
years. My brother-in-law would shoot me if I were to abandon it now, so I'm
trying to determine whether I could haul it home after the Memphis
convention (yes, I know, they're not exactly on the same route from
California). 

I figure the all-up weight of the lathe and a lightweight utility trailer
might be 1000-1200 lbs. Assuming I added an auxiliary cooler (and new
radiator) to our '95 ATX, is this a practical solution or am I asking for a
blown transmission en-route?

My other choice is to get my '91 SHO's act together, but it needs AC work,
more tuning, and only gets around 20 mpg.

Or maybe a new Ford Super Duty pickup?

Thanks.
