2015 Denali 2500 HD, Duramax and Allison transmission. Irridium Mettalic with two tone tan and brown interior.

I'd post a picture but the website won't cooperate.

Boat and trailer should be right around 14000, not sure on tongue weight, surge brakes. I have a 5" rise on the ball that is not in that picture. It actually tows pretty well and is well balanced.

+1 to the above. I towed my 32' see ray over 75 miles to get it home (just for the trailer lol) that is a fat boat measures 11'9" at its widest point. Heck didn't even know it was there until lane changes. I bet that dmax drags yours so well you often forget it's there as well.

man, here in PA, there are never ending construction zones and "cattle chutes". I'd have a nervous breakdown towing something that wide. Last summer I was towing my boat thru a cattle chute and I blew a tire. Had to keep going till I got to an emergency pull off area. My boat is 8'6 and I pucker sometimes as it is!!

That might be a stretch...

2016 Ford F-250 4x4 6.7 Diesel and 2008 Formula Fastech 353. I will post pictures as soon as I take some. Truck tows boat very well and boat and trailer are about 13,000 pounds.
Trailer has electric/hydraulic disc brakes on 2 of the 3 axels and that works really well.

Nice combo, It will pull more but its the stopping that is always the issue. Love this paint design from formula.

alindquist Have you checked how much weight you have toward the bow (tongue weight) Seems boat might be a bit to forward. Could help a bit towing if you level trailer and balance properly on trailer/boat. Sir you have a lot of guts. Its amazing how most formulas look like the size of a house.

He previously mentioned that he has a taller hitch on now and the trailer sits level.
