I had a boss once who would take his family on summer picnics to the boat launch just to people watch. Entertainment for hours.
I grew up on a lake in the midwest and we had a place on a channel right across from the boat ramp. My buddies and I would sit there with a cooler and lawn chairs just cracking up. Holiday weekends were the best, that’s when the true “wallys” we used to call them would came out.
Do it! Do it! Tow a Yacht Dammit!
Yes. First drop the factory hitch, get a Class III or IV hitch. Other modifications will differ in your two scenarios. Taking for granted there are surge brakes on the trailer...
Never been an issue with my little Jeep that could. All within its payload/towing/CGVW ratings. No problem pulling boat out of the water, but I always put it in 4wd for that task plus it has a limited slip rear diff. The short wheelbase is not an issue and I prefer using it over my Ram 1500 due to increased maneuverability. Was expecting a Bronco with similar towing capability for topless boat outings. Maybe the rumored Everglades model will be the Bronco I'm looking for (hope it also has washout/MGV interior).We're talking 4300lbs here. Your obnoxious aunt's Buick can tow that FFS.
i mean, you can do anything once.
He's trying to figure out if this tool will do the job. We're not talking wrenches here.
This is true, but so far Ford has not given us a compelling reason why the tow cap on lower trims is so much less than GCWR minus Curb Weight minus 300lbs. Or why the GCWR is the same between 2-door and 4-door versions with the same powertrain.
It Could be all sorts of things and a combination of those things. It could be cooling capacity. It could be soft off road focused suspension. It could be brakes. It could be chassis reasons.
The main issue is almost definitely the soft suspension, but that still doesn't answer my two questions above.
