Pulling a Boat question- 2014 DCSB 4x4

So I am in the market for a 21" CC boat. Probably a Cape Horn 21" CC (something similar) w/ a 175hp or more.

My question is will I be able to pull this with my tow package or will I need a larger truck? Any questions or input would be much appreciated! Thanks all

 

How do you even sit on a 21" boat? Do you put it on your foot like a roller blade?

 

How much would it weigh?

 

LOL 21'

 

Hull 2150
Trailer 800 or so
Gas 625
Motor 450

4,025 give or take plus gear

 

close but should be fine

 

No problem. Youre not going to set land speed records but the truck will do it. We used to tow a 22 bay boat. We towed it from Tampa to the keys no problem. 55-60mph the entire way.

 

Awesome thank you!

 

Perfect thank you sir!

My next question is...I have allpro standard leafs in the rear which should help with the load, but should I look into getting ride right air bags for the rear to help level it out?

 

bags will definitely help, but aren't necessary...may want to try without them first

 

I should probably get some new bump stops though?? I still have the factory ones on it

 

Attach that sled and see how far the taco squats. We did it on the stock leafs but the trailer was pretty balanced and not much tongue weight. I just wouldn't want to blind anyone at night. I do suggest trailer brakes.

The saying I lived by was "it ain't the going it's the whoaing."

 

Dude... I'm gonna help you out by teaching you how to solve this problem. What is the max towing capacity in your truck? Hint: it is in your manual. If for whatever reason you don't have a manual, Google tacoma towing capacity and whatever year your truck is.

If capacity is greater than your boat and trailer setup (you listed the capacity) then you're good. If not, then you're not good.

It's easy

 

Yes pretty simple, but some like some reassurance that their not going to mess up there 30K truck. Real life examples make me feel better.

 

It was much easier asking in here though, but thanks for the tip Hint: I do have a manual just to lazy to check it

 

Depends on the tongue weight for needing air bags. This doesn't sound like you're pushing the limits of the truck though. You should be fine.

 

Oh and I also did google it, but I wanted real life TACOMA members input from their boats they have towed. DO'S and DONT'S!!! If I need a bigger truck then I need a bigger truck, but it doesn't seem that way, so I am a happy TACOMA owner as I always have been.

 

What size tires you running?

 

Awesome thank you sir!
