Haul'n with an H1
 
Any of you guys pulln your boats with an H1?

From what I have heard they are pretty much terrible as tow vehicles... Low on power, super soft suspensions, etc. I think tow capacity is like 7 or 8k.

Shame because it would look cool :coolcowboy:

Gm did make an H1 Alpha, that came with the Allison and Duramax, throw on some HD airbags, and I'm sure it could tow pretty well. Plus it could tow anywhere!

Two problems:

It has a short wheelbase. Wheelbase 130 inches

In 2006, the suggested retail price was $129,399.00 for the open-top; the wagon was $140,796.00, H1 Alpha was priced at $150,975.00.

The H1 is just not a very practical or comfortable vehicle. They were designed for the military and very heavy. Spend your money on a dually and save the rest for engine upgrades on the boat.

You could buy a badass F650 for that money!!

They have a hard enough time stoping on their own without a trailer.....

Personally towed with my friends H1. Towing and stopping a 1986 27ft formula was scary! I think a H3 with the inline 5 has a better chance! J/K!

okay hauler if only going a few miles to the launch...best part is you can back in until the bumper is underwater and still pull it right out

on the highway is dicey....takes awhile to stop and uses up brake pads left and right....but sure gets the looks....especially from the liberals who give me the one finger salute!

What are you pulling that Formula with? Surely not a Hummer?
