It's amazing how much the Tahoe/Suburbans have changed since the first one I bought. Have a 2014 Sub with the 5.3 and it hardly pulls my boat.. Hell, it barely pulls itself. Complete pig.. Maybe it has a different rear end or something Majek 22 Extreme/225 Optimax Pro XS hauled by a 2500HD Duramax

Cmack Extreme Angler C Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,711 Onalaska,Tx	2015 F150 Lariat Supercrew 3.5L Ecoboost 3.15 gear. Tows my Basscat like a diesel. Average 19-22 mpg overall. 13.5-14 towing. Could not be more pleased. Came out of a 2012 Ecoboost with 3.55 rear and the 2015 tows circles around it, it's not logical but it's a fact. Had a Yukon XL 5.3L with 3.73 rear gear that wouldn't even compare with the ecoboost. Last edited by Cmack; 04/27/18 02:43 AM.

Just a smaller 17' tracker so nothing compared to some of yall . Was a trade off between gas mileage/work driving/towing the boat. ..just curious, how well did that civic pull your boat? �04 Dodge Cummins...her miles are starting to get to her though Last edited by BassTastic115; 04/27/18 02:22 AM.
