I would think launching would not be too much of a problem, but you may have your hands full when you try to pull it back out of the water when your done.

If your gonna tote it with that truck you need ta make sure its got trailer brakes or it might not make any difference if it will unload or load tha boat. Just something else you might want to consider..........T

I tow a 20' fish and ski and a 22 foot sailboat behind my 4runner (Not at the same time).

When you are at the ramp try to keep your back tires from getting wet, get a tranny cooler and maintain a safe following distance so you are not constantly heating up your brakes.

It will be no problem with that truck. As with any truck and no trailer brakes allow time to stop. Will pull out on any ramp no problem with a 17 or 18 footer, bigger I dont know. Had one traded it in for what became a Tundra.

You'll have trouble pulling out a heavy 21 foot CC rig on a steep ramp....especially if your rear tires get wet. Tranny cooler is a MUST HAVE item...about $120 or so.


Now, Donald...please pick John Bolton for your running mate.

I pulled a 22foot CC all over Texas with a regular cab 1/2 Chevy with a V6 and it did okay-maybe some weight in the bed for pulling out of a steep ramp and trailer brakes for sure...

I pulled a 31ft challenger up the ramp (not a real steep one but it had a sharp crest at the top) with a 1/2 ton v-6 chevy and a 25ft powerquest up the ramp and from cedar creek to garland with the same truck
