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

Got a 2008 Tacoma w/ 4.0 v6. Pull a 24ft Triton LTS all over the state... Weighs about 5000lbs fully loaded with gas and gear is my guess

'07 Dodge 2500 4x4 Mega cab, 6.7 Cummins, haul'n Blackjack 224. 4500-5000 lbs..Drags it around effortlessly!!

2008 Chevy Silverado, 5.3 V8, and pulls my 12' kayak like it isnt even there!!!

Lol

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

I have the 5.3 an hate it man burns a lot when pulling sh&$

2007 Chevy Silverado, 4.8L V8, pulling a RARELY used 2011 Xpress 20ft with a Yammy 115. Pulls really easy but MPG goes down to about 12.

That it does!!!! I put some bigger tires on mine and that puppy drinks gas when i pull something!!!

2012 Chevy 2500 duramax pulling a 2005 22ft Scb top cat.

I got the long wheelbase 4 door... And no it doesn't

My boat is so fast it pulls my truck

2000 F-250 7.3 Power Stroke pull a 15' aluminum and a 19' seafox with a 90 and what ever else I can hook to the back end effortlessly...16 mpg load or no load

W who gives a ****

I have a 50' Hatteras that gets drug around with my Prius.

More likely that you would have a prius for a dingy

I've seen him do it while on a flat in the rear! Talk about impressive!

I seen him parallel park that thing before... I was impressed

Seen him do a 3 point turn. I was impressed.

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

Should've seen when he jack knifed it, messed his "deck" up!

2009 Jeep Wrangler unlimited on 35s pulling a 16 ft alumaweld. I wouldn't recommend this setup at all

2011 GMC 5.3 & tow pack. 20-22 hwy no load, 9mpg anything over 1 ton

05 f150 4.6 v8 when I pulled a 18ft xpress w/ 150 4stroke yammy only get 9mpg, but I adverage 15 in city 18 on highway. sometimes I get a little better on hwy but not often!

05 F150 KR, 5.4, 4x4 Screwcab with 33" tires, gets about 10mpg towing 17x44 Alweld boat or anything else and 15 unloaded...... love me some gas stations

'08 2500 z71 crewcab duramax pullin a 24HO Haynie..14mpg if i keep it between 70-75 mph 17-18mpg .unloaded

08 Chevy z71 5.3 pulling a 19' nautic star. Truck has bigger tires, not quite 33s. I get about 13-14mpg with no boat and right around 10 with our boat.

Identical... Except I'm gettin about 13-14 in city

I knew i was gonna regret making this thread.... I get the same mpg as you guys but have a v6... I could've had a v8 :headknocker:

1999 2-door 4x4 Tahoe, 5.7L, 6" lift, 35" tires, 4.56 gears. I get about 12.5-13.5mpg not towing. 11.5mpg towing an 18' Alweld with 50hp Tohatsu.

It tows the Jonboat effortlessly with the 4.56 gears and it will go most anywhere with the Toyo MT's but good gas mileage is not an option.

One of my favorite vehicles right there!!!

Same here....been trying to find one for years they are hard to find without being ragged out.

You right about that. I would love to have one but I think my wife would take it from me cause she likes em more than me.

Theres a nice on craiglist lafayette but its a 4dr. Its lifted and looks like 33's hopefully its still there after income taxes lol

Yeah I saw that one....looks good cept for the ugly land rover front end. Paint is peeling down the the primer too

The maroon one?

No the one I looked at was white

Ad is almost a month old....looks pretty decent

My 2008 jeep liberty 4x4 lifted tows great. I tow my 22' baja play boat with tandem trailer that I know is super heavy with big block in it. Tows it beautiful just do not plan to stop fast in the rain. It's rated at towing 5000lbs what really surprises me. Gas mileage sucks though. Everyday driving in the city I get maybe 16-17, pulling the boat almost makes me throw up.

That v6 will leave me 4.6 v8 though I promise.

The only thing i like about my v6 is they're very reliable. If it was in something with a longer wheelbase i wouldnt complain (as much). But ill be happy when i get another 5.7 vortec

You may have seen it around since your in the Holmwood/Biglake area. I live south of Lake Charles, hunt south of Holmwood and fish Big Lake in the fall, we also jug for catfish in the Gibbstown area of the intercoastal.

Not sure if I've seen it but that thing is beautiful!!!

I think ive seen it at heberts before. Do you have a smaller boat like 16-17ft

06 F350 Crew cab, 4 x 4, single tire rear w/ 6.0 Powerstroke. Pulls a 21' Frontier with ease and a 31' 13,000 lb 5th wheel. 14.5 MPG all around, 12 pulling boat and 10 pulling camper.

Thanks Micah, I love the old Blazer/Bronco look.

Yea, it's an 18' Allweld with a 50hp tiller steer, great for chasing trout and running to the weir to castnet for shrimp.

nice
 

nice ride right there, how many miles you have on that thing, i drive a 96 2 door maroon in color

That is a clean tahoe
