Towing a boat

Use the ECT button when towing, and you can always engage the locker if your slipping on a ramp.

 

Will be towing this soon .

 

Cant wait to see how my Taco tows this, just sold my diesel Ram so have no choice

 

That’s what I did. Sold my Dodge Ram Mega Cab Diesel. Wondering if it’ll pull my 21’ ski boat.

 

Glass boats will be a bit rough on the truck.

 

My Sanger V215 weighs about 3200 pounds with no gas. Think the Tacoma will pull it ok?

 

I have an 18' double hulled bay boat and my truck does fine. As said before don't tow in overdrive. I'm in a second gen so the 3rd gen drivers might have to drop another gear to keep it happy with the Bruce Jenner transmission. Confused tranny

 

Yes

 

Yeah. With trailer you're still under Toyotas 6,400lbs

 

Pretty much any boat on a single axle trailer should be good.

 

Mines double.

 

I've towed doubles without a problem, I was just saying any single shouldn't even be a question.

 

Don't mean to thread jack but is that your car in your sig? Thinking about pulling the trigger on a Porsche. Also, where do you fight fire?

 

Funny!
He did have the strength and ability to win a decathlon and I think the 3rd gen Taco tranny is strong enough also.

Just keep it in S- mode and select whatever gear in which you want it to top out. It’s a manumatic and you can keep it from hunting by using it in that way. Like a manual, just without the clutch.

And, with the automatic, you can enjoy your burger, fries and soda any time you like while driving.

So very American!

 

Pulled it with this.

It’s light for a ski boat.

 

Is that 20'

 

21

 

Yes, that’s my car. It’s a 91 c2. I was a firefighter in Vegas. I retired 10 years ago.

 

I pulled my 18' bay boat 400 miles round trip last year without problems. I can't stress enough to leave overdrive off. I was worried at first because my boat ramp is 1 mile from the house and I had to drive through Houston traffic but the truck was great.
