what is your tow vehicle? 2025


fishing user avatarWildbillb reply : 

Just wondering what everyone uses for a tow vehicle.  I have a 1998 Chevy Z71 127,345 miles. Still runs like a champ.


fishing user avatarRose_Jackets67 reply : 

'05 Ram, 4.7/6 speed manual/3.92 gears.

Can't even tell the boats back there.

Of course, the boats a 14' jon...


fishing user avatarKU_Bassmaster. reply : 

It's not "mine", but it's what I use:  2005 Trailblazer with the V8.  Can't tell my boat is back there either ........ but I also am either towing a 14 ft Jon or a 2 man bass boat. ;) ;D

fishing user avatarguest reply : 

2001 s-10 4 banger, 5 speed. 135,000 miles, bought it brand new. Not only can I tell the boat is behind it, but when I look out the mirrors, all I see is boat  ;D

But for 19 miles per gallon towing, i'm keeping it.


fishing user avatarSiebert Outdoors reply : 

04 silverado 4x4  5.3L ext cab.  great truck.  Getting close to 31,000 mile almost time for a new one.


fishing user avatarMadGator reply : 

I either use my wifes, 2005 Chevy Equinox or my 2001 Bonneville to pull my '89 Bass Tracker Tournament V-17.  I really haven't seen much of a difference between the two vehicles, the Bonneville actually has more power, but dosen't stop quite as well.  I've never gotten stuck at a ramp, however, I have spun out a few times in both vehicles on ramps.  There have been times I was glad to be in the Equinox, versus the Bonneville though.


fishing user avatarBassBird reply : 

2006 Chevy Silverado....pulls fine


fishing user avatarRattlinrogue reply : 

I use two.One is a Ford F-150 and the other is a Ford Explorer.


fishing user avatarDaniel My Brother reply : 

I carry the shame driving of the only Ford Windstar mini-van at the ramp.  ;D


fishing user avatarx-trued reply : 

2006 Ford F-250 Power Stroke diesel.  I have to remind myself I am pulling a boat.

It doesn't matter what you drive, as long as it works.  You are fishing...that is what matters.  I happen to pull with a large truck, but that is only because I have that truck for work purposes.  I would use anything I had to get me to to ramp.


fishing user avatarRobDar reply : 

2000 Full size Dodge Ram 1500 series 3.9L Van with towing differential/tranny upgrade. 96k miles. Hard working van! Also rescued over 500 Beagles/Coonhounds in this van!

Will never use Goodyear tires again though...terrible traction on wet ramps...


fishing user avatarLive.2.Fish reply : 

2004 Ford F-150 5.4l with tow package.

2005 F150 4x4 pulls my nitro pretty well.  It was the best graduation gift I ever bought myself

1991 Toyota Camry.


fishing user avatarWildbillb reply : 

pinkfloydrules,

what kind of boat do you pull with this toyota camry?


fishing user avatarBassKing813 reply : 

A 14ft fiberglass River Master boat. It only weighs about 1,000lb and the Camry is rated to tow 3,000, so it's alright.


fishing user avatarSCarter reply : 

Pull my partners TR-20 with a 2005 Z71 like a dream. But when we hook his GMC 2500 Duramax to the TR-20 - like they said, what boat.


fishing user avatartbird reply :

fishing user avatarg3yama150 reply : 

I'M A NEWBIE TO THIS SITE AND IT LOOKS GREAT.  THOUGHT I MIGHT CONTRIBUTE MY EXPERIENCE TO ANYONE CONSIDERING DOWN SIZING THEIR TOW VEHICLE.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I MOVED FROM A 2003 SUBURBAN Z71 TO A 2006 TOYOTO TACOMA 4DR 4WD AND I'M VERY PLEASED WITH IT.  IT PULLS MY HEAVY 18-1/2 WALLEYE TYPE ALUMINUM BOAT WITH EASE.  I HAVE TOWED IT TO FL AND BACK TO TN AND ALL KINDS OF 200+ MILE TRIPS.  SO, IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING ONE, MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT THEY WILL DO THE JOB.

MILEAGE IS NOT A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN THE BURB WHEN TOWING, ABOUT 2 MPG ;D, BUT I CAN GET PLACES IN THE WOODS DURING THE FALL AND HUNTING SEASON THAT I COULDN'T WITH THE BURB.  IT'S VERY COMFORTABLE WITH PLENTY OF HEAD ROOM AND LEG ROOM FOR MY 6'3" FRAME.  PLENTY ROOM FOR 4 ADULTS.  IF ANYONE SHOULD DESIRE MORE INFO ON THS RIG, SEND ME AN EMAIL.
