Tow vehicle
 

I am looking at a 2005 42' Ex. with an Eagle trailer and was wondering what you guys are towing them with? I need to upgrade my truck and want to make sure it will handle it. Thanks.

hello gerritum i have an awsome tow vehicle for sale in the trucks & tow vehicles section in the classifieds on this site .its a 05 gmc crew cab dually 4wd ,white .if this interests you give me a call 315 373 1085 thanks,monte.

I use a Ford F-250, didn't go dually because I don't haul far distance but it handles the weight fine. Good luck with the purchase..........:drink:

I tow mine with an 05 PSD Excursion, no problems.

Love my diesel
 

Whatever make you decide to get, I wouldln't consider anything but a diesel. I have trucks with the Powerstroke and trucks with the Duramax and both will tow a boat that size without much struggle if any. I personally like the Duramax for it's better mileage and it's much quieter. I recently repossessed a 42' Fountain for a local credit union and the powerstroke handled the weight flawlessly. The real advantage of dual rear wheels is when you have a blow out. The other wheel will get you to a safe place to change a tire but are very inconvenient to manuever. Single rear wheel blow outs with a trailer put you were you land but are much easier to get around in.

I think diesel is the way to go. I don't want a dually because it is going to be a daily driver, for my job. I am thinking of a Ford F250 or Dodge 2500 with diesel power. I have had bad luck with the last couple of Chevies I have owned. I have a Nissan Titan right now and love it. Handles my 8000# boat and trailer with no problems. Have driven over 3000 miles towing the boat and have had no problems. Just not big enough for the Fountain.

05 F250 4x4 no problems.....triple 42

Add air bags for rear suspension. Makes a huge difference.

If your deal doesn't swing on the 42, ck out my FRESHWATER_:D 42 for sale. Myco trailer will rest the hull evenly on all bunks perfect. Good luck, 42 is a great bottom.

I have an 06 42 executioner, I use an '06 2500HD GMC Sierra with a Duramax, absolutely a great truck, pulls the boat with ease...i've had bad luck with duramax in the past, also have had powerstokes and cummins, but the new duramaxs are great, can't say a bad thing about it to be honest...highly recommend them as tow vehicles and they're extremely comfortable, even as a daily driver
