| I look at all the new trucks for 2009 and went with another GMC SIERRA crew cab.
I have a ranger 690vs with a 175 merc, This truck is the top of the line. It has a six speed transmission and it pulls this boat like a sulfur hammer! |

| I ran a lot of miles up on a 96 Chevy work truck with a 4.6 Vortex and 2wd pulling my 17.5 Lund blue whale with a 115 on it. Definitely worked it some in the mountains but for the most part it had plenty of power when not in overdrive, and when I headed north, put it in OD through IN and IL, no probems. I backed that one into a bluff alongside the freeway this winter, and now have a 5.3 Eldorado and really way more power than I need. I am surprised some are having somplaints of total power with this engine? I could probably go glass on my boat, and still have excess power available. |

Location: Right Here | For those that said the 5.3 is a little underpowered, the rearend makes a HUGE difference. I have two 5.3's that pull a 21.5' Astro with a tandem axle trailer. They pull it COMPLETELY different. The Tahoe has road gears (assuming standard 3:42) in it and has to shift constantly. Our pickup has a 3:73 and pulls MUCH better. Always known that it obviously makes a difference, but I never realized how much until I owned both at the same time. I would obviously love to have 4:10's, but oh well. Something to look at for sure if you don't want a 3/4 ton or bigger for your daily driver.

| I drive 2002 ford explored v6 4.0 l it pull 15' 1990 gruumann with 20 up Johnson. Even tho it's small I had been tryin to remodel the boat interiors but I suck with wood work. ( I m welder so I have a lame excuses for it) I get 16-18 mpg with it most of water I fish is 30 mins radius from my home. Hopefully upgrade host to esox mangum or some javelin regenades if I find deal on it. May can't come much sooner. Got yelled at work from daydreaming to much. |

Location: where the fish are... | i have a 2001 ford ranger 4.0L and i towed a trailor from NC 1100 miles away tha wieghed everybit of 4500lbs and had no problems with it at all, no problems stopping starting very smooth. I towed my freinds dads 16ft monarch last summer up north and actually got better gas mileage pulling that than the 12' fischer we took up there this year. That 4.0L can easily tow 5600lbs i think thats the rating on my truck. |

Location: Iowa | My Dad tows his 2007 620 with the dual axle ranger trailer with a 2007 Chevrolet 1500 Suburban LTZ. You can hardly tell the boat is back there. Gas milage is about 12 mpg but it rides super smooth and has the power needed to pass someone with the boat in tow.

I drive a 4.0L Ranger myself, but I still couldn't imagine pulling a Ranger 619. It's actually got enough power to pull it, but stopping could be scary. |
