Default towing thread
Not sure if there is a thread already but i thought it would be a good idea. Just post your vehicle info and boat info. Such year make model and engine size and then boat length amd weight. Also how well it tows.
I have a 2000 chevy blazer 4.3 v6 2wd and just tow a 16ft mod v jon. Weight is probably around 1200lbs tows just fine. Wish it had a longer wheelbase though

Does it sway at all towing a long boat with such a short wheelbase vehicle?

F150 with the 4.6... Gas mileage blows without a load.. Don't even want to find out what I get when I'm pulling my rig around. Going to really suck once I upgrade to 35s
