I alway's liked Low Lock ( 4 wheel drive ) for pulling out or backing it up my hill. My 1/2 pulled fine. Just wasn't heavy duty enough in the brakes. You need 4 wheel disc . The 3/4 ton did not even sag when I put it on the hitch. Unlike the 1/2 ton.

I have a 29 Fountain with Twin 454s and I tow it with a 1/2 ton GMC Denali Sierra. It tows it with no problem.

2001 GMC 2500 Diesel is my primary and tows with no problem.

I have towed it with a 1500 z71 for 300 miles and it didn't miss a beat. I will say on a steep ramp pulling a wet boat out it struggled a tad but nothing to worry about. Just watch your oil more than normal along the way when towing long distances

F-150 should be fine. If towing the 29 and it has two motors I would watch my "recommended" towing capacity of the 150. Not saying it won't do the job but the insurance company might think different if you get into an accident.

I tow our 27' with 2011 Sequoia 4x4. Works fine on long trips and short trips.

I tow my 29 single with a Trailbalzer SS. No problems. Rear air suspension brings it right up to level. 0-60 times drop from 6 seconds to 10 seconds though.

I have a twin 29 and pull it with my 2011 F-150 FX4 (5.0). The towing capacity is fine, but I only pull it 4 or 5 miles to the ramp and back. I think 4X4 would is an absolute requirement. If I were going to pull it a long distance or frequently, I would go back to a Power Stroke F-250/350 or Duramax.

Have a 91 Twin 29ft. 7k dry plus trailer. I tow with the new Ecoboost. Tows fine. I had a 08 F250 diesel before and there isnt much difference. If you get the EB get the max tow and 4x4. You wont be disappointed. The only time I would say dont do it is if you tow like 12hours plus every weekend.

I did the analysis of having that diesel and having my EB. Gas savings and maint cost I will be ahead 2300 bucks this year. So the truck is paying for its self.

Good point the EB max tow can tow 11,300 which is what mine can do. GCWV is like 17,100. So if you boat weighs 11,300 you really are towing that boat by your self. But if you under 10 grand you can easily tow that and have people and some gear.
