I have an older Chevy suburban and tow a 1750 crestliner. It knows it is back there. The biggest thing is I do not have brakes on the trailer. I have horrible stop light karma. Running memorial parkway(rt 30) out to Webster I have skidded through more than a few intersections trying to stop. I just replaced my horribly warped rotors. A fe years ago I even had a left front brake fire going through Duluth coming back from vermillion. That's alot of downhill trying to do the speed limit and not trying to roll too fast and not hit a light. I stopped and black smoke poured out of the left front. Luckily it went out on its own. Next year to the dismay of anyone around me I only went 30-35 and I could smell my brakes when I was in superior.

Tow rating, yeah but that boat will push your vehicle, can your brakes handle the extra weight and have the stopping power?
