[QUOTE="smidge, post: 398760, member: 20138"] Wondering what everyone here uses as a tow vehicle and what are you pulling. I plan on using my 2005 Subaru wrx to pull my 14' aluminum valco. It doesn't weigh much and the wrx is rated to tow up to 2,000 lbs. I have taken the boat on a 4 hour drive round trip with no outboard and I did just fine going up two grades. My only concern is pulling out the boat at ramps. A lot of ramps around here tend to be pretty steep. ( southern California). But then again I am used to big Hills and high elevation mountain passes at 8k ft. My car does no problem loaded full of people and snkwboard/skiing gear going up Hills and over passes. Anyone else pull a small boat with a similar vehicle? Getting a dedicated tow vehicle just is not in the budget right now. [/QUOTE]
