Towing

To All Y'all which is plural of Y'all...

My 170 CC with total weight of + - 2000 lbs. including trailer, fuel, trolling motor and deep cycle battery and all that other stuff we have gotta have is normally towed by a Tundra with the 4.7 V-8. Many trips to south Florida and North Carolina coast plus area lakes in WNC. Not a problem since 2002.

My son, his wife and friends use the boat for occasionsl lake week ends in WNC towing with a Jeep Liberty. The V-6 Jeep has plenty of towing capacity. 5,000 lbs. I think. From Asheville, NC we must go down the mountains, east, south or west, to any water that will float a boat and then back up at the end of the trip.

The Tundra is best suited for the job but the Liberty does just fine both pulling and stopping. Just be smart out there....
