I am looking for the right vehicle to tow my boat. A 19'5 center console (deeper V) with a 45 gallon inboard gas tank. think the boat weight is about 3200 empty, 4500 full.

Have 6 K to spend, looknig for chevy, gmc or maybe a large jeep.

What do you suggest ?

Re: Looking for the right vehicle -

How far are you towing ? A lot of hill's in that area ? A lot depends on those answers.

If you plan on a lot of towing or long distance or a lot of climbing hills then make sure the vehicle has a tow package.

Tow packages have larger radiators, tranny coolers etc...

Most anything will tow a boat, but not properly set up will not last long and get quite expensive.
