Hi new to the forums. I just bought my boat a week ago. I have a 1981 Glastron SSV-176 that I pull with a 1994 Dodge Dakota 2wd with the 318ci in it. So far have not had any issues putting the boat in or pulling it out of the water with it.

We have a 2011 Durango AWD that we pull our bowrider with. I think it does a good job.

Finally got a photo of them both together last night when I picked the boat up from being winterized.

I Niky! Welcome. Pictures are always welcome. They are most always worth a thousand words. I'll be anxious to see them.

Tow my 94 Aquatron 1800 with my 97 Ram 1500 4x4. Trucks lifted 7" on 37 13.50 20 mud grapplers, 5.2 with some head work a "little" cam, ported tb, headers, custom tune, built trans with shift kit and HD converter, 4.88 gears. Gonna drop back down to 35's though. Those wheels and tires are 130+ pounds a piece. Makes stopping tricky lol.

A few months ago, I replaced my Avalanche 2500 with a 2014 F350 Diesel. Sometimes, I forget the boat is even back there.:lol:

Towing my 2013 Stingray 215CR with 2016 Tundra CrewMax. Sort of came as a package from same owner. Did tow it a few times with my Honda Ridgeline, but was at or over tow capacity of 5000 lbs.
