Wildbillb Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Just wondering what everyone uses for a tow vehicle. I have a 1998 Chevy Z71 127,345 miles. Still runs like a champ. Quote
Rose_Jackets67 Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 '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... Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted June 13, 2006 Super User Posted June 13, 2006 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 Quote

WCCT Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 2004 Chevy Silverado 3500, 4 door with the Duramax diesel. It will pull down a house Quote
Super User senile1 Posted June 13, 2006 Super User Posted June 13, 2006 2002 Toyota Tundra SR5 Extended cab, 4.7 liter V8. Quote

Guest JoshKeller Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 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. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 04 silverado 4x4 5.3L ext cab. great truck. Getting close to 31,000 mile almost time for a new one. Quote
MadGator Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 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. Quote
Rattlinrogue Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 I use two.One is a Ford F-150 and the other is a Ford Explorer. Quote
Daniel My Brother Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 I carry the shame driving of the only Ford Windstar mini-van at the ramp. ;D Quote
x-trued Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 2006 Ford F-250 Power Stroke diesel. I have to remind myself I am pulling a boat. Quote
x-trued Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 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. Quote
RobDar Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 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... Quote

deadeye32. Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 2005 F150 4x4 pulls my nitro pretty well. It was the best graduation gift I ever bought myself Quote
Wildbillb Posted June 15, 2006 Author Posted June 15, 2006 pinkfloydrules, what kind of boat do you pull with this toyota camry? Quote
BassKing813 Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 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. Quote
