It all depends on the boat you end up buying. Each brand is different, some weigh more than others. If you were going to get a 19 or 20 foot Ranger or Nitro, which are both great boats, but on the heavy side - then you may need to step up in a tow vehicle.

For 3 years I pulled a 15 foot Javelin with a V6 Ford Explorer. I recently traded boats and pull a 19 foot Sprint with it. You can't even tell its back there. Of course Sprints weigh close to nothing.

Of course it is important to test drive a boat - so when you look for your new boat, use your tow vehicle as opposed to the dealerships if they will allow and see how it does. You may come out not needing a tow truck and save some money or use that money to upgrade the boat or add some accessories.

Let us know when and what you buy.
