Default How much can my 850 pull?

I may need to tow two motorcycles300mibehind my 96 850 turbo. Bikes will total about 900lbs + a 250lb trailer. Am I going to burn up my transmission? Would I need to install an auxilliary cooling system?

Thanks!

This is covered in the manual...

IIRC the 850 can tow 3000 lbs and you should have the gear selector in 3 not D. You shouldn't need aux cooling but if you are concerned go for it, put one on or just change the fluid after you finish your trip.
