    The raptor will throw rocks worse, just putting my 2 cents in.

      Thats a valid point! these wide BFG's can sling some pebbles.

          Bevo,

          I know the 315 bridge. I have a dental office outside the front gate of Emerald Bay over on Saline Bay. Now I just need to convince my wife I need a G23 and upgrade my 1/2 ton to tow it.

            The 2017 Raptor is much more enticing now that they have a souped up Ecoboost. Should deliver more HP and torque then the previous 6.2L V8 along with better MPG. Can't speak to how the suspension does towing though.

              Ill be honest I didn't think it would be as good, but it is. I wish it was still the 6.2L but I am impressed with the test drive and demo.

                      It is definitely a dilemma, a great problem to have, but I am torn.

                        2014 Sierra 1500. Very little towing as we keep it on a lift. Handles the little bit we do very well.

                          Have been pulling our 220 with a GL450. It manages the boat very well, and the 3 young kids enjoy the SUV while driving. I've been a bit nervous driving this thing around the hills of Kentucky/Tennessee - certainly don't want to put a new trans in my wife's grocery getter. Just bought a 2004 Tundra with a blown motor. With a new motor, fresh coat of paint (my family owns an auto shop) and a powered tonneau cover, it will soon be our new boat hauler/beater.

                            Boat dry weight: 5900 pounds
                            Fuel: 65 gallon at 7 pounds/gallon: 455 pounds
                            Boards, cooler, etc.: 200 pounds
                            Trailer: 1200 pounds

                            Total: 7755 pounds

                            And because you never want to be right at the limit, you need a tow rig capable of pulling 8500 pounds minimum and it needs to be properly wired for the trailer brakes.

                            -Charles
                            Trailer is at least 1500 lbs....
