There is an old trick for accomplishing that. I used to tow a 6,200#
straight inboard boat with an El Camino with a 350 cu in. The rear end
of that vehicle is so light, it was hard to get the load moving without
spinning your wheels. Using a Float-On type trailer, one person would
stay in the boat while the other drove the El Camino. You would fire up
the boat engine, put her in gear and hit the throttle. At the same
time, the guy in the El Camino would get on the gas. Most times the
boat would have pushed it half way up the ramp if the car had been in
neutral.
