    Not enough bandwidth on the internet to list.
    Whew! That's a chunk of boat to be hauling with the Taco! Pulling it is one thing, what's it like to stop in a hurry?

    Never all 4 I don’t think, but I’ve definitely put the rear diff in the water at some remote lakes in Minnesota, but typically no.

    Have had a couple quick stops, the surge brakes worked pretty well, didn't push the Taco too much once they engaged.

    My boat is not 5700 lbs; 2300 estimated, but with even 1999 surge brakes i towed it with a 2001 Subaru Forester (4cyl) and braking was not my biggest fear. It was certainly not ideal though. The taco tows it like a champ in comparison
