It will be interesting if this follows general market share. I would think it would be pretty close.

I use a 4door Jeep Wrangler. I use it for my Nitro and also pull a 21' center console 5-6 times a year from DFW to Galveston. Not the best for the bigger, heavier boat, but it is ok. Wouldn't like a truck here, I hate driving them. No fun. The Jeep is a fun way to get around. Has close to 300hp, and gets 16-17 mpg when pulling, is a 4x4 , and a convertible. What's not to like?

I checked GMC but it's about 50/50 between a Yukon XL and a F150 Ecoboost Supercrew.

Sure it does. It's get 21 -22 highway without a load behind it. 3.73 gears. But, I'm sure "it's impossible", since it isn't a truck. Lol it also pulls Chevys out of mud, when the owners think "it isn't gonna work"

I've got an ecodiesel and I'm convinced it's the perfect tow vehicle. 24 city, 28 hwy and 15 towing 21' bass boat. 240hp and 440 torque. Small displacement diesels are the future. Ford and Chevy need to get on board. I'm also convinced people don't know how to calculate fuel mileage.
