I am sure someone will chime in with actually weight. But I would start with the Trailer GVW rating. That will give you a ballpark. Disclaimer - I don't recommend towing anything that weighs more than your vehicles specified capacity. But, what kind of towing? A mile or two on a local road to the ramp or 20+ miles each way with stop and go and highway? Myself and many others move 35ish foot boats(example - 35 Fountain twin 496's) with full size1/2 ton 4x4 trucks. But its only local and occasionally(hand full of times a year).

Two big blocks = minimum of 3/4 truck as a general rule.

My 32' Fountain SFC which was a heavy model weighed 8,700 with 100 gallons of fuel. Adding a trailer puts you into the 10-11K range.

I have a 2000 32 with twin BBC and headers. 7,200LB dry weight, 130 gallon tank. Steel Myco trailer is 1800-1900 lbs.

Add fuel, anchor, life vests, cooler if you have in the boat, BS that seems to find its way in.

Any of the modern 1/2 tons with a tow package would be fine, I think the Escalde may squat more then a little and kill the air suspension.

I'll just leave this here.

I towed a 32 Sunsation from the factory to Metro Beach with a 1/2 ton truck and needed a 12-pack after arriving at the ramp. Truck couldn't get out of its own way trying to accelerate to merge into traffic.

I towed a 32 Sunsation from LOTO to my house in Central IL (300+ miles) with my 3/4-ton D-Max and it was not until the last stoplight as I was entering town that I realized the dealership lied about making sure the trailer brakes were functioning properly (who needs brake lines to the rear calipers?!) as I had to make somewhat of a panic stop. Truck handled it just fine and the trip was a breeze.

It's not a matter of what can be done. It is a matter of what should be done to make sure you, your crew, and those traveling around you have a safe trip.

Stopping your rig in a "situation" is the most important.

What 1/2 ton? Our buddy just got a 32 sunny ( beautiful boat BTW) and towed it home from the NE with his eco-boost with NO trailer brakes and said it wasn't bad. He has the max tow etc so just curious.

That falls into the : Can you, should you?, category.

I personally think with a decent trailer (meaning has good brakes) the Escalade/Suburban will do ok... However, I would recommend adding a load stabilizer airbag set up to the Escalade/Suburban. Best $300.00 you will ever spend!

But like others have stated, the bigger the truck the better.
