I only tow 2x a year. Once to the marina, once home to the garage. I use Enterprise Truck. it's about $100-$140/day to rent a F-250 / RAM 2500 or similar. They tow great and I return it the next day. $300/year (or less) is a LOT less than owning these things... when you only need it 2-4x a year... only get one 2-4x a year.
I used to have a Tahoe when I could tow my Chris Craft 245 places, but with my Formula 292, this was a much better route. I always get a brand new truck to tow, then just drop it off! I have a CyberTruck on order, and if I like it, (need a test drive before I buy), it will take over the towing duties.

i tow with a 3500 dually duramax... family also has a 2500 single wheel.
pulled my boat from LOTO to keywest a few times. never an issue - except trailer tires.
dually definitely pulls heavier boat a bit better, but at LOTO i usually just use the 2500, its definitely not over loaded.
right around 10k full of fuel an water.

I’ve been searching for a f250 or HD2500 myself but wouldn’t tow much more than 100 miles each way. I towed my 12m with my 2500 plow truck and did fine however in heavy traffic and longer distance I’d likely think differently.
