Towing a boat

Towing a boat with a 3rd gen anybody?

 

watching this

 

Towed at 17’ bay boat. Struggles alittle on the incline

 

Have a 16' haven't tried towing yet...

 

Using D or sport?

 

I tow an 18’ Bass Tracker all the time.

 

How well does in do launching and loading any slippage at ramp?

 

It does fine. Ive never had a problem. Do you have the tow package? What are you wanting to tow?

 

I don't acutally

 

That’s your deciding factor. What are you wanting to tow?

 

It's a little old but first time boater. 1988 chaparral xl 16'

 

Nice. It all comes down to weight. Check out your service manual and look at your specific configuration to determine if your truck can handle the weight.

 

When I towed it it was on D. S would have helped but I haven’t towed it since

 

Yup gonna do that...not gonna tow to far maybe 30 miles max flat hills and to the delta.

 

I'm not to worried about towing more worry about loading the boat on the ramp since these third gen low end sucks.

 

I have a 18 TRD OR 6 speed manual. I drag a 3000lb alumaweld sled around. Half the ramps that I use are steep so I use 4 low to make things easier on my clutch.

 

Cool I'll keep that in mind

 

through...

 

If you are towing in hills or mountains don't do it in overdrive.

 

Nice
