Tow vehicles- 1989 Chevy silverado 3/4 ton long bed. 350 engine.

The tahoe is the main truck for the Grumman. The Lund is undergoing restoration but the suburban will be its main tow vehicle. The pickup is left for the dirty work. It will still carry 2 tons in the bed.

You'll notice this is my first post. I've been visiting the forum for a few weeks; just seeing what's here.

I tow a 1997 Ranger SportR82 (my wife bought it for me on our anniversary). Boat, motor, and trailer weigh about 3,100 when loaded (8 fishing rods, enough gear to keep my grandchildren trying new lures and techniques, etc).

Tow vehicle is a 2005 Dodge 3/4 ton four wheel drive with a Cummins Deisel (20 plus miles per gallon to and from work; about 18 miles per gallon towing the boat). I know it's a little overkill but I always wanted a Cummins; hard to tell the boat is back there most of the time. ;)
