In 1980, I pulled an 18-foot 3-axle trailer from California to Tennessee on I-40 with a 1970 Fleetwood Brougham. It had the 472/TH400 setup, and a pretty high-geared Cadillac rear axle. Gross weight of the car and trailer was 16,700 lbs. I made 2500 miles at 5 MPG, and negotiated a couple of major mountain ranges. No problems whatsoever out of the old Caddy, and the odometer turned over to 200,000 miles during the trip!
