I pull my 290 PQ which is similar in weight with an 04 Yukon xl bone stock and 190,000 miles on it. No problems whatsoever just drive like a normal person and it will do just fine... some people like to overkill safety but your truck will have no problems with the boat

Guy I bought my 288 from pulls the 05 dominator he bought with a 08 gm half ton.8mpg pulling my boat with it and I'm sure less than that now with his dominator.

I wouldn't think ud need air bags since the boat motor is being the trailer axles and therefore keeping tongue weight to a minimum.

But the again Ford half tons are lame lmao.

U need a DURAMAX!

I'd pull it with Fred Flintstone's ride if it would get me in a 32 faster!

I think you can get away with it if not for long distances. What is the big deal about braking? My rig stops faster with the trailer brakes. Remember not to tow in overdrive and go easy on the hills.

Yep Got to make sure the trailer brakes work,thats whats going to stop you.

I used to tow my 300 with my 1/2 ton Tahoe and now I tow it with my 3/4 ton Suburban ,cant really say its a night and day difference.
