Currently tow the boat with my 2010 GMC Sierra Denali which does real well thr boat with trailer is around 10k lbs. The fulltime awd is awesome in all conditions and awesome at ramp.

I have a Whippled 454 in it and lots of other fun stuff, she had gobs of torque and power but you really cant compare power and technology (although the Denali has 403hp and is also tuned). https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/..._2023656_n.jpg https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/..._3817974_n.jpg |
That denali is just what i want for my next one hows the mileage for everyday driving

Nice rides..here's my classic..part of my obsession with vintage cars..state of the art tow package in 1972 :eek:- 402BB, TH400, tilt wheel, factory air, Custom Camper package with 4.10 rear.
Boat weighs 5000 lbs..anything bigger would likely mean a new rig (always thought a custom late 40's/50's COE would be a great tow rig)...been through the mountains to Tahoe and over the grapevine to LA many times over the last 15yrs with these two...

I have towed my 400SS with a F450 a Sportchassis and a Peterbilt.
Even though the F450 was rated to tow the weight it never felt very comfortable. With the Peterbilt it was a piece of cake to tow but not very practical for bringing more than one person. Overall the Sportchassis was the hot ticket, towed fine, plenty of room. when unhooked its just as easy to drive around as a pickup |

Also can you elaborate on the "not comfortable" of the F450 pulling the 400SS? |
If I had a 400 SS I wouldn't be trailering it enough to have this discussion LOL
