What do you tow your boat with?

The way I understand it is the axle weight distribution of the tow vehicle has a weight allowance based on the chassis rating which includes tongue weight and vehicle weight but not to exceed the GVWR of the axles. For a one ton truck it is generally something like vehicle weight plus 3,500 lbs for the rear axle will be very close to what the decal on the door shows.
On Suburbans and like the Excursion the extra weight of body, glass and interior stretched out over the rear axle deducts from the GVWR to where less towing remains.
THe old suburbans are great
