When I pull it which is less than 100 feet a year. I pull with an 2003 Chevy Silverado, with 4.8 V8, and 36,000 miles on the clock.

Sorry I don't have a pic, but I use the family wagon to pull the boat. It's a 2009 Chrysler Aspen (Chrysler version of a Dodge Durango) with a 4.7L V8. I was a little nervous about pulling a 24' Suntracker with the Aspen, but it pulls just fine. Like some of you guys have mentioned the wind load makes a huge difference. I keep my speed to about 60MPH which puts me averaging about 13MPG.

Here's the pic I was looking for. The Aspen's supsension actuall surprised me with such a load. My company 3/4 Chevrolet squats twice as much with the boat.

Jafo,

we vacation at Dauphin Island every year in August, how far are you from there?

jafo9 · #40 Post by **jafo9** » Tue Feb 16, 2010 2:28 pm

takes about 5 hours to get to mobile. not 100% sure where dauphin island is.

it's just south of Mobile at the mouth of the bay. If it wasn't 1000 miles away we would haul the toon every year.

Do you have bunk type trailer or rollers, what size is it , but most with bunks but it in till the bunks get wet and then pull it back out some but I let them tell you.

I have rollers and I pull mine up enough so the rear roller are just in the water and drive it on.
