what is your tow vehicle?

Featured Replies

Just wondering what everyone uses for a tow vehicle.  I have a 1998 Chevy Z71 127,345 miles. Still runs like a champ.

'05 Ram, 4.7/6 speed manual/3.92 gears.

Can't even tell the boats back there.

Of course, the boats a 14' jon...

It's not "mine", but it's what I use:  2005 Trailblazer with the V8.  Can't tell my boat is back there either ........ but I also am either towing a 14 ft Jon or a 2 man bass boat. ;) ;D

2004 GMC Yukon XL, 100,390 miles, about half with boat in tow ( 21' ) and I know its back there!!! >;)

1999 Ford F-150 Supercab.  80,000 miles on it.  Tows my 18 1/2 foot Champion rather well.

2004 Chevy Silverado 3500, 4 door with the Duramax diesel.  It will pull down a house ;)

2002 Toyota Tundra SR5 Extended cab, 4.7 liter V8.  

1990 ford f-150 5.0l 302, 113,000 miles on it, tows my 17.5' tracker alright, still takin a lickin but keeps on tickin

2001 s-10 4 banger, 5 speed. 135,000 miles, bought it brand new. Not only can I tell the boat is behind it, but when I look out the mirrors, all I see is boat  ;D

But for 19 miles per gallon towing, i'm keeping it.

04 silverado 4x4  5.3L ext cab.  great truck.  Getting close to 31,000 mile almost time for a new one.

I either use my wifes, 2005 Chevy Equinox or my 2001 Bonneville to pull my '89 Bass Tracker Tournament V-17.  I really haven't seen much of a difference between the two vehicles, the Bonneville actually has more power, but dosen't stop quite as well.  I've never gotten stuck at a ramp, however, I have spun out a few times in both vehicles on ramps.  There have been times I was glad to be in the Equinox, versus the Bonneville though.

2006 Ford F-250 Power Stroke diesel.  I have to remind myself I am pulling a boat.

I carry the shame driving of the only Ford Windstar mini-van at the ramp. ;D

It doesn't matter what you drive, as long as it works.  You are fishing...that is what matters.  I happen to pull with a large truck, but that is only because I have that truck for work purposes.  I would use anything I had to get me to to ramp.

2000 Full size Dodge Ram 1500 series 3.9L Van with towing differential/tranny upgrade. 96k miles. Hard working van! Also rescued over 500 Beagles/Coonhounds in this van!

Will never use Goodyear tires again though...terrible traction on wet ramps...

2006 F-150 4x2 S/C 4.6L V8, Auto O/D w/3.55 Lim. Slip.

Hauls the Skeeter (TZX200) like it wasn't even there.

2005 F150 4x4 pulls my nitro pretty well.  It was the best graduation gift I ever bought myself

pinkfloydrules,

what kind of boat do you pull with this toyota camry?

A 14ft fiberglass River Master boat. It only weighs about 1,000lb and the Camry is rated to tow 3,000, so it's alright.
