I've towed my little camping trailer, which is maybe 2400-2500 lbs loaded, on long trips that were 15 hrs away.....it's sure a chore that adds some travel time.

so max distance is about 4 hours away. Prolly after gear and trailer and quads maybe 2500lbs max , max speed of 70mph I just don't wanna mess this thing up

Just use a lot of extra caution in general. Leave plenty of space for braking and plan to take a while to accelerate....and i'd imagine a lot of shift jockeying between 3rd and 4th if in an auto. That part won't be super fun.

I assume yours is an auto transmission? If it's manual, your 6th gear will be useless and you may struggle to reach 70mph. But it will tow it.
