| bottom line yes you can pull a 2000lb boat with a vehicle rated to tow 2000 llb, infact you could pull a 4000lb boat with that same vehicle it just would not be recommened to be done on a regular basis. Hills are where you will feel it most. I have a tahoe with a modded 350 and I can definatly feel my 1500lb boat when Im excelerating up a steep hill on the interstate. I have friends who used to pull their 23ft ski boat with an old bronco but the engine blew and they went with a diesel. The closer you are to that capacity, if your towing any significant distances will decrease the life of your drivetrain. Also breaking will be more difficult the lighter your tow rig. If you live in Kansas or some place like that than I would say sure go for it get a 4 cylinder but if your going to be towing in hilly areas, especailly places where there may be snow on the ground you really should look into a V6. | |
