We had a 67 with the 425, much better looking!

So not to derail but there was a less chrome version called a Delmont.


As for the OP, way to much for that as most said, not the pulling all in the stopping.

I love the solid white look. Very clean. If you do get another truck, go with a 2500. I pulled with a 1500 for 2 years and you have to be very alert the whole time.

Thanks for the good comment !
Honestly, I think I will keep my truck. I really love it and the boat ramp is very not far from my home and there is close to nobody on the road I'm taking to go there. I have the brakes on the trailer and brand new performance brakes on the truck and the setup is braking well. I tried my friend's F150 and my truck pull and stop better that the F150. But, if I'm going to travel on a longue distance roadtrip...I will rent a 2500 or something like that for sure.

Rots of ruck!
Not sure why you started this thread knowing you are over the limits of your truck by likely a 1000 lbs.
Were you hoping someone would jump in and endorse your setup?

I know it would be around pushing to the limits...but I was looking for some opinions and if someone know for real what could be the weight of the boat + trailer. The specs are 4800lbs dry hull but with all the rest...it's hard to know how much it should really weight. I have a Myco alumnium trailer so I guess it is a little lighter than a regular steel trailer.

I was towing 500lbs more than the tow capacity on my last Ford truck and never had a problem. I adapt my driving with the trailer and drive safe even more than usually.

Anyways, I have the boat since a couple weeks now and I'm finally happy of how it rides at the rear of my truck. Sorry if some people dosent like the idea...and thanks for the comments

Here is the big problem my insurance company made me sign a waver that my truck was factory rated to tow my boat. With that said were do you think you would be if you had an accident.
