If your rig weighs anywhere close to 3500 lbs the thing is made out of 1/2 inch CS

A buddy of mine tows his 1848 PD with a Jeep. Shouldn't be a problem.

You could tow that boat with a Barbie Jeep.





It frightens me sometimes the questions that come up here. We get in boats with loaded guns with these people?

I have seen a Jeep launch a 24' twin engine Robalo which isn't THE problem... I had the pleasure of being there when they came back in :roll: let's just say a Chevy was needed to strap off to the Jeep in order to get the boat out of the water. :lol:

Should not be a problem, I use to tow a 1744 hd 200 mile round trips in a 2001 jeep with 35" tires, just couldn't pull in 5th gear but it did fine in 4th.
