stan_133 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 i picked up a used fishing boat a few months ago and now i'm looking fo something to pull it with. i got a 2002 serbing with forward wheel drive and a 6v under the hood but i'm thinking about picking up a beater suv to pull the boat. i'm just wondering if anyone outhere has a suggestion as to what i should be looking for. right now its a toss up between a ford explorer, blazer, jimmy and durango.

jjcanoe Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 The important question is how heavy is the boat, motor and trailer you will be towing? V6 might be fine if it's a smaller rig. jjcanoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NANUK Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hard to tell without knowing the total weight of you rig(boat, motor, trailer, gas, gear etc) personally, I wouldn't want to pull more then 80% of my vehicle's towing capacity. like they say "Its not the pulling which is a problem, Its the stopping" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) 1990 Geo Metro!!! ... but really, any full size utility (truck) vehicle will pull your boat much better than a car. 4WD or positraction is a big plus on boat ramps.
