Towing power!!!
Crickey sailors guys!!! Research your vehicles before you get this far.... Take your vehicles website, look for towing cap, if you are gooing 2wd (and unless you are on really steep and slippery ramps, this is all you really need) makes sure it has limited slip diff or at very least, locking axle for transmission slip. Then look at dry weight of your boat WITH motor & trailer then multiply that total weight by 1.1 (add 10%). That figure should not be any more than 75-80% of the towing capacity of your vehicle (60% optimum). This allows you peace of mind on loading, transmission loads and unusual driving conditions. Got it??? Good now go boating and catch some fish! tight lines
