Towing for 31 Bullet
#11
LOL! I also tow my Cafe with a 1500 Z71, but only from the covered storage to the ramp, about 1/2 mile and to the gas station, about 3 miles. And I certainly know its back there! But, the electric brakes really help.
Towed it up from Houston with a crew cab dually, and that was a piece of cake.
Funny thing, my truck pulls it up the ramp with less drama. I'm a bit light on tongue weight, so the dually (4x2) will spin if the ramp is wet, the 1500 is 4x4 and pulls it right out.

Funny you say that because if there isn't any traffic I feel like the boat tows better at 75 than at 60.

I tow my 28 SS with twin 454's on a tripple axle trailer with surge brakes everywhere, coast to coast, behind my 3/4 ton Dodge 4x4 with Diesel.
The boat wet I would guess is close to a Bullet with no problem. I have towed it behing my GMC Yukon with the HD tow package, not the Suburban long wheel base version, and the brakes were the best part. It's a half ton vehicle with a short wheel base. I didn't even like pulling an open car trailer behind the Yukon. The Yukon/Tahoe are better for ski boats and horse trailers.

Pulling from Vegas to FL I has it up to 70-75 at times, but with 4.30 rear the mileage tanked. I really miss Nevada, I could get away with a "R"' licence that would let me get away with towing the beat. In FL I had to have a commercial license.
