[QUOTE="Frankenfish, post: 484451, member: 25701"] I was in the same "boat" :LOL2: caught up comparing towing capacity to trailer weights, etc. My father-in-law shared some solid advice, "That max towing rate is for perfect conditions on flat roads, you don't want to be maxed out on weight and then try to climb a hill or drive in heavy wind" Dale brings up braking and that's an excellent point. One last consideration is that boats tend to enter the water via ramp. One quick youtube search will yield waaaay too many tow vehicles struggle to climb up a wet ramp with a boat in tow. [/QUOTE]
