Trying to resurrect an applicable thread for this question. I have a Crestliner Fishhawk 1750 with a 115 merc. I currently have a 2002 ford explorer but its slowly falling apart. I'm looking to stay in the same size SUV. Any suggestions? I'd like something more reliable than my explorer has been the last few years. Was looking at a Honda Pilot but their towing capacity just doesn't sound like enough, especially if I ever upgrade my boat to an 1850+ at some point. Thoughts?
I dont think a pilot is an equivalent vehicle to a v6 explorer, I think a ridgeline would be closer to the equivalent. A buddy tows his 20 foot glass bassboat with hiss ridgeline, he also had an exploder before and said the ridgeline tows way better, and another friend tows a pretty decent size RV with his--they both rave about them. Any reasonable size v6 with a frame ought to do fine on your boat. I have a lund the same size as your boat, maybe a little heavier, I tow with a 4-cyl tacoma. Its a dog on hills but I can yank it out of the muck at dirt ramps no problem. |
