Location: Lake Elmo, MN | I get the diesel thing.....really do......but it is HUGE overkill.
I have towed several Ranger 620's over the years, with F150's without a single issue. I've had a number of 5.4liter and the V6 eco boost engines. Sure diesels can pull more....but you simply do not need it.....even with a fully loaded Ranger 620 or 621. Those boats and trailers only weigh about 4000 pounds fully loaded up. These trucks today routinely have capacities of 9,500 - 12,000 pounds !! That is a 5,000 pound delta !
There are plusses and minuses for diesels. But for towing a fishing boat (glass or aluminum)....virtually ANY full size pickup does the job without any issue whatsoever.
