[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 462357, member: 21536"] I agree with Gary. You vehicle has a rated towing capacity. Determining if your boat/trailer package is within that capacity would be a first step. From what I have seen, some of the max towing capacities listed require addition of "towing packages". So, make sure you are looking at the correct info for your vehicle. Pulling up a ramp is a consideration. I would also be concerned about how a small vehicle's brakes will hold up while towing something of any weight. Don't mean to be a downer, just something to be aware of and maintain. For what it is worth, it isn't that unusual to see guys towing lighter tin boats with smaller Fwd vehicles (don't know if they are 4's or 6's). All the ramps I frequent are improved (paved). [/QUOTE]
