What do you tow your 35+ ft. boat with?
If you have a 35+ footer and you tow, what rig are you using?
Please state 2wd or 4wd.

We use a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi. Although we're over the tow rating, it still manages to move the rig (and stop it too!) Time for an upgrade though...

We've used a couple of different trucks to tow our 38 T/S. For local towing we have a '95 2500 Dodge that does the trick but you can't tow it over 60mph. For long distance we've used a '05 F350 Diesel SRW and we also used a '05 GMC 3500 Diesel Dually. We like the Ford over the GMC but the dually was better than the SRW. For next season we'll probably buy a Ford F350 Diesel Dually and keep it instead of buying and selling the truck when we need it.

2004 GMC 4X4 2500 Duramax, extended cab, short box.
Towing a 2000 straight hull tiger.
Pulls like it's empy and rides like a cadillac. Been in all American truck brands and many models and the ride and power are unbeatable. Durmax and Allison tranny, the pair to have.
