What do you tow your 190 with?

[Matt J]

2014 Tacoma TRD/TX Baja with a TRD supercharger 6sp manual.. Does great except for the burning clutch smell when backing up my 150ft inclined driveway....Having the trailer lights wire harness installed on the wife's 09 Honda Pilot tomorrow so to use that until we get her a new suv down the road.

OK....For those who did not believe me..........I was not kidding around! : ) She was a little dirty that day, but she shines up real good when clean! Small Block Chevy 350 5.7 V8. No Cats, Super 10 Flows with 3.5' pipe. She mean and loud! Fully custom inside with 6 captain's chairs and 2 24' TV screens. The kids (3 boys) love it! Won "Best Old-School Car, Truck or Van" at the Beale Street Car Show 2013....when we lived in Memphis. Always place in Top 50, and Most Unique catagory at car shows.

2015 Sierra 1500 4x4 Z71. Average about 13mpg pulling the boat. My family and I love this truck.

What mph are you getting that mileage @SAGERFLY ?

 

[SAGERFLY]

Pretty much stay at 67mph

Pretty much stay at 67mph

I get about 11.5 towing at 65 MPH in my 5.4L F150. Even though it has the tow package it has the crappy highway rear end with highest gear ratio. I couldn't imagine having a to tow a huge load with this truck. In a few years I think I'm going to look into getting a used 2500 HD with the Allison trans. I have t had a Chevy in a long time.

2014 Jeep Cherokee! Boat sits at the marina so only tow 2 or 3 times per year about 15 miles each way.

I have a 2016 Chevy 1500 with the 4.3 V6. Tows the boat AWESOME. Very surprised on how well it tows it. But it is rated at 300hp. And with a 6 speed auto, its good. Mine looks very similar to yours @Joe Hellaby, My windows are 5% though...haha. Everything I have, including the boat, is tinted.

Just pulled the boat out of storage.

TeraFlex 3" lift on 35's with Air Lift 1000 bags @ 30PSI.
Have to get a deeper drop hitch to level it out a bit. Also cant load it without using blocks under the boat jack.

The few posts above will show how much the JKU sags with stock suspension.

The Jeep/Yammie combination looks freakishly awesome! Great color scheme on both. i see your comment about the lift/tire size/ & bags... is the motor stock? Auto/Manual? What gear ratio? How does it pull and stop the boat? I have a full size silverado that is used as the family Truckster and it's what we pull the boat with also. It's getting up there in miles and i seriously debating on a couple year old wrangler. Little concerned about pulling the boat. I read that the only difference between the USA's rubicon 3,500lb and Europe's 4,500lb rating is a larger break kit. Of course i understand it wouldn't be a speedster on the highway, but that's not why you would buy a jeep in the first place. I have had 6 CJ jeeps but the newest was an 1980... spending the amount of money it would take for a couple year old 4 door makes me sweat just thinking about it.
