Hi all, Seems like we are getting a somewhat 'normal' winter this year. Lots of snow and lots of ice with a slow and steady thaw happening. Been out lots, for every species, really nice to have the options of whatever mode of transport takes your fancy, be it sleds, quads, sXside, or just jump in your truck.

Highlander tows up to 5,000 lbs without a towing package. https://www.toyota.ca/en/vehicles/highlander/overview/ So does the 4Runner. https://www.toyota.ca/en/vehicles/4runner/overview/ And the Honda Pilot. https://www.honda.ca/en/pilot All three are solid tow platforms, utterly reliable, and often available as lease-returns on the used lot to save a few bucks.

Substantial areas of open water up here in Central Frontenac. Another week or two at most before it's gone. It's usually a good blow from the south-west that finally does it..

August. lol

well, i was ice fishing on sunday, on the sound in parry sound, and the long range forecast looks pretty cold at least for the next couple of weeks. Im going to guess nippising wont be ice free until May this year unless late april really really warms up. Even looking at Lake simcoe, it only seems to have started to break up a bit within the last few days. Thats a heck of a lot of ice to melt, although once its fails a good wind can really speed up the ices decline.

Always remember that towing capacity is the maximum a vehicle can tow with no cargo at all, half a tank of fuel and a 150lb driver. Anything extra, start dropping those lbs off the max capacity. 3cyl diesel tractors pull lots of weight but you need to remember that they are geared really low, they don’t go out on the highways and are designed to pull a lot of weight. 3-4 cyl cars and cuv’s/suv’s typically can pull up to 2000lbs on a good day. You need something with a v6.
