[QUOTE="bAcKpAiN, post: 247702, member: 169"] Thanks Steve! I have towed my boat back and forth across PA three times a year roughly for the past two years and haven't had a problem. That is with a van full of people and a roof rack loaded lol. I even use it to launch/retrieve the boat at a gravel ramp here at a local lake. The front wheel drive is actually good for pulling up the ramps because I often have the rear tires in the lake to get the boat on the trailer because the lake is electric only. The front wheels stay on the drier ramp. I say local lake... but living in Philly I travel an hour to to two hours to fish usually. I would read your owners manual and follow the recommendations for towing. On my van I installed heavy duty load sensing shocks in the back and would invest in a transmission cooler. When in the mountains I drop to 3 and keep it around 60mph to keep the trans from doing too much back and forth shifting. [/QUOTE]
