SCarter Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Pull my partners TR-20 with a 2005 Z71 like a dream. But when we hook his GMC 2500 Duramax to the TR-20 - like they said, what boat. Quote

g3yama150 Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 I'M A NEWBIE TO THIS SITE AND IT LOOKS GREAT. THOUGHT I MIGHT CONTRIBUTE MY EXPERIENCE TO ANYONE CONSIDERING DOWN SIZING THEIR TOW VEHICLE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I MOVED FROM A 2003 SUBURBAN Z71 TO A 2006 TOYOTO TACOMA 4DR 4WD AND I'M VERY PLEASED WITH IT. IT PULLS MY HEAVY 18-1/2 WALLEYE TYPE ALUMINUM BOAT WITH EASE. I HAVE TOWED IT TO FL AND BACK TO TN AND ALL KINDS OF 200+ MILE TRIPS. SO, IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING ONE, MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT THEY WILL DO THE JOB. MILEAGE IS NOT A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN THE BURB WHEN TOWING, ABOUT 2 MPG ;D, BUT I CAN GET PLACES IN THE WOODS DURING THE FALL AND HUNTING SEASON THAT I COULDN'T WITH THE BURB. IT'S VERY COMFORTABLE WITH PLENTY OF HEAD ROOM AND LEG ROOM FOR MY 6'3" FRAME. PLENTY ROOM FOR 4 ADULTS. IF ANYONE SHOULD DESIRE MORE INFO ON THS RIG, SEND ME AN EMAIL. G3YAMA150 Quote

Not only is this my tow vehicle it's my go to the store vehicle, visit Mom vehicle etc. In fact, it's the only vehicle I've owned in 21 years. Just completed a 4000 mile tow (AZ to Florida) averaging 10.7 MPG. carrying my cat Rascal - and some cat tranquilizers! Quote
