| I'm not sure where the problem is here. I don't know a lot of people that go on lots of extended trips. I'm from Missouri, so the annual trip to LOTW is a haul. The rest of our trips are no more than 2.5 hours each way to Kinkaid. My dad and I took 4 trips in his Chevy Trailblazer V6 pulling an 18' aluminum boat. He had a Tahoe, but downgraded to the Trailblazer because he didn't need the size. Did the Tahoe pull better, absolutely, was the Trailblazer a dog, nope. By the way, we did get stranded in Iowa coming back from LOTW when the tranny quit on the Tahoe. That sucked. I've pulled the same boat with my Jeep Cherokee numerous times. Just because I can't scream up a steep hill doesn't mean the Jeep can't handle the boat. Another guy I fish with pulls his boat to LOTW with an Explorer SportTrac. He's never been stranded. I just don't think you need to buy a huge truck or suv if you don't truly need it. | |
