[QUOTE="cyberflexx, post: 32966, member: 496"] Yup.. Steep Ramps, Icey Ramps in the winter, alot of hills to drive over on the way to the lake? To give you an idea, I used to pull my Smokercraft with a 1999 GrandPrix GT V6 and it was really straining my motor and trans because of the hills I had to go over to get to the lake. On flat ground I was OK and when the ramps were not really wet and slippery, but if there was algea or anything slick on the ramp, I had some trouble, of course the car was front wheel drive. When I went to trade for a 4Runner back in 2003, The trans was slipping and I took a 2k hit on trade in because of that. I traded my 4Runner because my Ranger walked it all over the interstate over 50mph and the tires were inflated properly and the hitch was at the right height. Now that I have the 2007 Explorer, it pulls like the Ranger or Smokercraft isnt even there.. [/QUOTE]
