Any recommendations? Do you think I need a V8? My boat is aluminum so it’s not that heavy. I just don’t know much about this stuff....
I towed a Tuffy Esox ltd with a 6 cylinder Jeep. I think the total weight (estimated) of boat, trailer, motor, gear was around 1500. It towed it, but struggled a bit up steep hills.
Now I tow a heavier boat with a Yukon and can hardly tell its there.
If you plan on doing a lot of towing for longer distances, I would definitely get a full size truck/SUV. If mostly short runs, you would likely be fine with the Jeep. |
