    Hey all, I'm looking into used bass boats in the 1995-2000 range and I'm curious if I should stick to the 18'-19' boat or if I could possibly bump up to the 20'-21' boat. My only concern on this is my truck is a 2017 Ram 1500 3.6L V6. It's rated towing capacity is 4,210lbs. Would I have any issues towing a bigger bass boat and trailer? I read that most bigger bass boats range in the 2,000-2,500lbs range, but I think that was dry weight and I wasn't sure on trailer weight. Any comments would be helpful! Thanks!

    So, due to some lifestyle changes, I'm giving up my truck to get an SUV for my wife. Since our other vehicle is an unreliable 2006 Kia Sorento, I need to be sure that the new lease can tow my boat. I've never had anything other than my truck to tow, so I'm nervous about getting an SUV with too low of a towing capacity. I have a 2016 Crestliner Storm 1700 with a 20hp 4 stroke Mercury. The dry weight of the boat is 670lbs. Motor is about 120lbs. Plus electronics, gear and gas estimated at about 200lbs. Not positive about the weight of the trailer, but I'd say it is only about 250lbs or so. So the total that I'm coming up with for weight is about 1240lbs. The vehicle in question is a Jeep Patriot. It is rated at a max 2,000lb towing capacity with max payload of 1,230lbs. From what I understand, I should be OK on the payload because the majority of the weight of the boat and trailer is carried by the trailer axle, not the hitch. But is a 2,000lb towing capacity enough for me? Will the payload be too much on the boat launch? Thanks in advance! -Dale

    Hey guys, First off, not sure where to put this. Anyways, I'm in the market for a new truck and found one that has pretty much everything I'm looking for. Then I had some one say if I'm going to be towing I'm going to want the electronic locking rear differential option. The truck I'm looking at is an f150 with a 3.55 ratio regular axle and is 4x4 since I am in WI (snow). Boat will be less than 3000lbs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey all. It's been a while since I've posted here, but I have a question and I knew this was the place to come. I apologize if it isn't posted in the right place, but I wasn't really sure where it should go. I'm in the market for a new truck. I've made my mind up on the Chevy Silverado, but I've been toying around with the specifics. I want to go with the crew cab, but I'm concerned that standard bed will be too small for many of my rods. While I don't own anything over 7'6", I'm not ruling out the future possibilty. I'd prefer not to have the rod mounts with the rods sticking up vertical. I would also a imagine that the crew cab with the long bed would be like driving a semi. Just wanted to hear your input. Does anyone own a crew cab with the standard bed, and if so how is it's functionality? Any other input is appreciated as well. I'm not interested in making this a Chevy, Dodge, Ford, etc. debate, I'm worried more about dimensions. Thanks in advance. Chris
