2001 Olds Bravada w/4.3 and automatic 4wd. Pulls the 15' trihull and the 17.5 Fabuglas. Surprisingly, it strains more with the smaller boat.

2003 Suburban 4x4 with Factory Tow package, 5.3 liter engine and performance tuned computer

This is the best tow vehicle I have ever had, 19.5 Bayliner boat. Stops and accelerates very well with the boat, even handled without any problem when the trailer blew the tire yesterday.

Hey MRS, is the tongue on that broken or just tilted. It seems your pic blocked some of your text.

Yes it is bent I meant to say you can tow with a small auto but things can happen when the load is a little to much for the tow.:^ I did have a load of clay and rock it was the last load of the day so I maxed it out and thats what I get. But I did make it stronger now ran the same load in it and it works now so far:) O yea here is my real tow truck and new little project frend of mine did not want it any more and gave it to me should make a nice little brush fishing boat.d:)

The boat has been completely re-done since these pictures but I haven't had it out for fresh photos yet (damn that broken leg!!!!) They both tow this boat without any problems at 17 mpg and have 4wd.

2004 Toyota Sienna van towing 18 foot Glassmaster bowrider with Merc 1150 on a single axle trailer. I was worried about lack of power, but it tows just fine. The trickiest part is pulling the loaded trailer out of the water on a slippery ramp.
