I've towed with 250's, 350's and 450's hands down in this new 2011 450 is a towing beast.

no pics with the boat, but ive been up and down lol. just for comparison the truck and trailer its on combined are almost 11k

Love the fact that in that pic you can see a canadian flag and a tim hortons. lol

Tow my 39 with a Ford F350 crew cab short bed w/6.7 does a great job!

I have a 38 TG and Im getting it done with a 04 Super Duty 4x4 with a 5.4 in it......taking off is not pretty but I will get there.

Ouch! But proving it can be done! Bet the plugs come right out when you go to change them, getting super heated every time you tow!

look at the used freightliner fl70's or even a used volvo truck single axled out. these can be had for closer to 18-30k depending on mileage. every once in a while a single axle short wheelbase semi will pop up for sale for under the 18k mark.. Also petes, kenworth, topkick, kodiak, freightliners... check www.horsetrailerworld.com for the used truck section to find some... then take the 20-30k diference and travel more than you planned on with taking the boat buying a new tow rig....

I tow my cafe with an 00 f350 dually.

My next truck will be a medium duty. Either an f650 or a kodiak. The latter are growing on me as they can be had cheaper and there seem to be more with 4x4. Looks are growing on me too

Oh. And I'm with you - love my 6 speed

I couldn't imagine hauling my TG with my 5.4L Ford. I've pulled it with the 6.2 Super Duty Ford F250, 3.73 ratio & was not impressed with the towing either. I've pulled with a Chevy 2500 HD, 4.10 ratio, 6.0 and could hardly tell the boat was there.
