What do you tow your boat with?

I'm sure this has been brought up but I'm curious to see what the more popular tow vehicles are around here. I know some people use SUV so I didn't specify make there.

Tundra. The biggest/strongest brakes in its class. Plenty of power too, thanks to its 10.5 mpg!

F250, but the company f150 tows for free so that’s been the choice lately.

Come on now didn't you see the commercial where the F-150 stopped the airplane when it landed?

I prefer Ford but it always comes down to the almighty dollar when I buy. My Chevy was cheap.

That's not a bad deal. Heck I'd probably drive a chevy if it was free

Wrecked my civic a month or so ago, got a 4x4 toyota tacoma to pull my boat. Just a smaller 17' tracker so nothing compared to some of yall . Was a trade off between gas mileage/work driving/towing the boat.

'06 2500 Duramax..

Only problem is, it's in the shop right now for a check up.. I got it not too too long ago and I just wanted to take it to a diesel shop for them to check everything from front to rear on it.

Right now I'm driving the ole 5.3 1500 until I get the Duramax back sometime next week.. After driving the gasser for just an hour, I had to ask myself why I didn't get a diesel sooner... I miss my truck already.. lol. That 5.3 is balless compared to the Duramax

But anyway to answer the question, the only vehicles in my driveway are GM and always have been.. I'd rather push a Chevy than drive a Ford

With a hitch.

Had diesels ever since I started driving. Got my first gas truck (Tundra) in November. I'll be going back to a diesel soon.

Ecodiesel....28hwy and 21 pulling a 21ft Champion

Not anymore. Mine have 14.9" rotors. I do like Tundra, though. Best truck I ever owned.

2007 Chevy Duramax 2500

2017 Ram 2500 4X4 with a Turbo Cummins or my 2001 Ram 1500 4X4 Offroad with a 5.9 magnum.

Big Booty Judy does all my towing for me! She's a beast!

Tundra is in between a 1500 Chevy/ F-150 Ford and 2500 Chevy/ F250 Ford. So basically, it is in it's own class.
I have a Tundra and absolutely hate the truck. Too much plastic, radio sucks, steering is very loose.

One ton dodge dually. Rangers are so heavy!

I am a stereo installer by trade for 32 years. My stereo is basically pretty great (Focal and JL)! Just gotta gut it all and install quality stuff.

And most of the plastic is gone too....I had our upholstery shop add a bit of suede in a few places.

Steering is pretty bad.....I added a rear sway bar and that helps. But still kinda not right....yet.

Did you change the proportioning valve and calipers too? That sounds pretty bad to the bone. Did you have to do anything to recalibrate the ABS system?

2014 Dodge 2500. Can’t even tell she’s behind me

1/2 ton ram with HEMI . 14 mpg towing my zx20.

My Z71 dose just fine.

Ram 1500 w/ 5.7 Hemi
Lonestar Premium 2wd
All the bells & whistles.
16 mpg towing....no matter what.
Thousands less than bowties and blue ovals.....thousands.

No, it's a 2019 Ram. The rotors were one of the many things I liked about the Tundra, so it was definitely a selling point for me on the new 1500.

got gmc z-71 with 5.3 engine....12-13 towing 461 ranger....thought it interesting that if you combine chevy and gmc on the poll,they outsell ford by 2-3%....

12 gmc 1500 5.3, mpg sucks.I tow a 518vx ranger

3.5 ecoboost, just pulled my boat for 3 hours between 75 and 82 and then filled it up, 8.5 mpg!

I'm on Suburban #8. I've owned several others SUV's but every time I buy something other than a Sub I regret it right away.

2014 Ram 3500 4x4 Diesel limited black but also have camper

How do you like that L5P?

08 duramax 2500hd Z 71. Tows like a beast pulling 17’ puma. Wife has 17’ Z 71 - 1/2 ton does a good job not like my 2500.

1999 7.3 Power Stroke f250 crew cab 4x4 Lariat. Or my new
2017 Duramax / Alison Denali 4x4 , either way got to diesel for me .

14-16 mpg towing....Lol

17 Ram 1500 Hemi 4x4 18-21 Highway 11-13 towing 22’ Triton smoothly.

Titan...had an '04 and now have a '15.

2018 Ford Raptor. Towing my 22' bay boat it get around 9.5 mpg. Previous ride was a '13 F250 and it only got 10.5 towing the same rig.

A GMC truck is basically the same as a Chevy. If you combine the two choices, It would surpass the others.

F250

Im a big Tundra fan but thought Id try the GMC this time. I pull a ZX250 which is a heavy boat. I bought a 2018 GMC with the 6.1 liter engine that shifts to V4 when the rpm drops. pulling a boat, Im getting close to 17, and driving w/o a trailer I get around 20 1/2 mpg.
I didn't get close to that with my Tundras. The GMC has a stiff ride, almost like a 3/4 ton. The Tundra has a better ride but isn't good on gas mileage.

Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition 4x4 5.7

F450, 11-12 mpg towing depending on the speed.

Ram 3500, 5.9 Cummins

Nissan Pathfinder,

That's funny Ken. I'm on Tahoe #7. Never needed that long bed since we don't have kids. It's amazing how much the Tahoe/Suburbans have changed since the first one I bought.

2017 Toyota Tundra 4x4 5.7 litre
added: TRD Sway Bar, Exhaust, Cold Air Intake and Firestone Air Bags
Pulls great..MPG terrible

2014 F-250

2012 F250 - Don't need it, but will probably never go back to gas unless I have to.

2017 Silverado 1500 LTZ. I get 12.7 mpg towing my 18.5 ft boat.

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

2014 tundra crewmax with the 4.6. 11mpg and gutless when towing my skeeter.

2008 Toyota Sequoia. 5.7 V8. Love the shorter rear end. Very strange, I get about 14 mpg average just driving and pulling it drop to about 13 mpg. Not much difference. sucks either way.

2013 Ram 2500 w/6.7 cummins.

W the emissions equipment that fell off i usually average 13-14mpg pulling my TR21

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.

I tow with a 6.2L Yukon. I don't really notice the bass boat (FX21) behind the truck but the ski boat is a bit of a different story.

2017 F-150 King Ranch FX4, 1/2 ton, 5.0 V-8, gets 17-19 mpg normal, and 13.5-15.8 mpg pulling a 21' Triton.

GMC 4x4 LML duramax lightly modded. 15mpg towing 20ft boat. Managed 20.5 with a loaded bed (not towing) on a 1400 mile trip last month. Won't ever go back to gas...way too efficient and fun to drive

2016 F150 Supercrew 4x4 w/ the 5.0
13-14 mpg while towing an 18'8" Ranger

I have a 2008 Tahoe 5.3 and it pulls great! Never an issue.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, 3.6L 6-cylinder.

..just curious, how well did that civic pull your boat?

‘04 Dodge Cummins...her miles are starting to get to her though

Does anybody on here tow with a diesel Chevy Colorado 4x4? I’m interested in that smaller truck.

Apparently, "Ford is the Best in Texas"...

2015 F150 Lariat

Ram ecodiesel with green diesel tuner. Thank me later...

I'll thank you right now. It's guys buying the eco deislels that make those HellCats and Demons possible. Manufacturers have to meet a goal for the GOV. Can't have too many fuel guzzling cars.
