Anybody pull a 38 w a 3/4 ton?
 

I have a late model chevy 2500 gas 6.0 4x4 long bed extended cab 10-12 pound tow rating. I'm gonna have to use it local for towing. But I was wondering if it would tow it 1700 miles.
ANy info on this matter would be great. Aluminum trailer,no sink boat.

Thanks

I pulled a triple engine 42 on a Myco 3 hours with a 2500 ext GMC SRW diesel. I think you will be fine. I couldn't tell the 42 was there. 47 is another story.

You should be ok, just be ready to buy allot of gas. I tow mine with a 2010 F-250 4x4 diesel. I put air bags on mine and it made a big difference in ride quality when towing. I also did a tuner and exhaust put it pulled good stock too.

I was pulling my 35 with the exact same truck as you have. From Baton Rouge to Destin Florida I was getting 98 miles out of a full tank of gas.
I added air bags to mine and it helped with the ride.
It was ok for pulling the boat local around my house, but long trips sucked!!!!!!!
The main reason I went to a diesel was it because that 6.0 works so hard getting the boat going.

Agree - I pulled my 35 with a 3/4 ton 6.0. Almost didn't get up the hill coming out of the State Park at LOTO. Had to put it in 4 low. Highway was a lot of fuel, boat ramp was fine - it just didn't like the long incline. You couldn't even tell it was back there with the new diesel.
Good luck.

You will be fine...

Probably every 38 bought but this one

Here! Here! Why would i want that one ? :lolhit:

You'll be fine... just allow plenty of room for braking. I pull my heavy 38 Scarab with 3/4 ton and the 8.1L. 1700 miles?!? Maybe call Exxon for a volume discount! Ha, which one are you dealing on?

Nice boat, seems like a really decent price also.
