Anyone pull a boat with their 3rd gen 6mt? Xpress h20b or h22b

I’m looking at getting a xpress h20b or h22b. Which would be a 20 or 22 foot bay boat roughly weighing in around 2700 lbs in total. Any one have trouble at steep ramps?

 

You’ll have no issues.

 

No problems pulling or ramping a boat with my gen 3 or gen 1

 

That’s not heavy so it’ll be fine. Only prob could be cross winds while towing if it’s reall tall

 

Boats tow easy. Its those big bread box enclosed cargo trailers that can make you pucker in strong crosswinds or black ice.

 

Your Sport is 4wd?

 

My Ranger which is heavier pull great. No ramp problems.

 

This is the question ... If not 4wd, an open dif, and lack of low range may be a little frustrating. But should be ok without making too much tire and clutch smoke.

 

The Manual only comes in 4x4.

 

Did the OP say he has a manual?

 

Yep, the Title says 6MT.

 

Lol. I totally didn’t see that. Sorry.

 

No worries, I pull a 23' open bow ski boat from time to time with no issues, taking obvious precautions.

 

Heck, theres a guy in town that tows a 12 yard dumpster with his 3rd gen tacoma. I can't claim what they weigh fully loaded, but its gotta be over 5k lbs.

 

Consider a weight distribution receiver/hitch setup depending on tongue weight to keep everything level which helps to avoid sway.

 

piece of cake. Previously had a '17 2.7 with the 5 speed, put it in 4lo and it nearly idled up the boat ramp

 

I would opt to get the 2 low mod for deploying the boat.

 

I pull a 3k aluminum jet boat all over the pnw with my 6 mt Tacoma. 2 lo mod is a must have for the ramps.
Don't be afraid to run the RPM up!

 

Skip to 1:43 for the Lexus GX towing way out of its league, you'll have no issues. Used an older Prerunner on a boat ramp and brought the tow straps just in case, if its a modern ramp you'll have no issues.

Not sure why people are suggesting the 2 LO mod when 4 LO will do the same job better. Get those front wheels pulling you up from where the water line hasn't been.

I pull a tandem jet ski trailer in and out of a sand ramp just fine. You should be good, OP. You're not much heavier than that (~2000lbs with fuel).
