Re: What do you pull your boat with?
I use an oldie but a goodie to pull my 1987 Beachcraft 215c which weighs in around 4500 lbs with trailer and gear. Not TOO old I guess.
1999 Ford F-250
Standard cab
7.3L turbo diesel
6-speed manual trans
I think the only option this truck has is cruise control which is nice. It has a bench seat that is as UN-comfortable as all get out but is ok for trips less than about 2 hours. Hand crank windows. Even came with an AM only radio.
The only upgrades I would like to do are the seats, and side mirrors. I already put in a different radio that has AM/FM and a cd player (found a factory radio for $50).
I have traveled to some of lakes here in California where we have to contend with the Sierra Nevada mountains. There have been only a couple of places where I have had to downshift out of 5th gear to 4th (the forward gears on the shifter are labeled L and then 1-5 with L being the compound and 5th being an overdrive). Nice.
