[QUOTE="SquiggyFreud, post: 382521, member: 11746"] Just looking for everyone's opinion... I will likely be buying a new vehicle towards the end of the year. I currently have a Nissan Rogue with a 1500# Tow capacity. My current Tin boat weighs in at 1500# on the trailer(Checked at cat scales) I am thinking of going up a size to a 7 passenger SUV...most in that class tow 5000#. Mid sized pickups tow 6-7000# and of course full sized trucks up to 9000+. I know the SUV could handle my current boat, but I want to go to a 20ft bay in the next couple of years. From my research I would be looking at about 3000-3500#. Would you all feel 100% confident the SUV with a 5000# capacity could handle that load-most importantly stopping it in a hurry, or should I start thinking about a truck? [/QUOTE]
