| Also consider the suspension in a vehicle with a 6-cylinder. I had a 98 ProCraft 180 combo with 175 Merc and towed it effortlessly with our 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8. One day, my wife needed the Jeep so we were going to pull the boat to the launch with my buddy's Toyota 4-runner 6-cyl. We hooked up the trailer and when I got the tongue jack all the way as low as it would go, the trailer was still putting weight on the tongue jack. I had to put a floor jack under the 4-Runner's frame and jack it up in order to get the tongue jack tucked up. The 4-Runner really struggled pulling that boat. Had to do the same thing with the floor jack under the 4-runner to get the boat off the hitch. If you tow frequently or far, IMHO the v-8 is probably a good investment. | |
