Our 2017 G23 and 2017 F350. Traded my older F250 in on the 350. Don't even know I have a boat attached!
Now this, this-is the way a person properly tows a G Boat. (It doesn't have to be a 1 ton, but at least a 3/4 ton). I no longer am in the towing game since I bought a lake house (or will tow so infrequently, that my 3/4 ton was no longer necessary; I went back to a 1/2 ton for parking garages, handling, etc.). Anyway, with a G23 weighing 5900lbs EMPTY... I don't care if your 1/2 ton is rated at 10K lbs. tow rating...with a trailer, gear, and fuel-that G23 "tail" would wag a 1/2 ton "dog" too much for my taste... Put passengers and gear in a 1/2 ton, and you are flirting with the GCVWR, easily... All of this, of course, is IMHO... I like a wide margin for safety and capability...
