Best boat launch vehicle

[Joker]

Looking for a good vehicle for launching a Mach 22. Think the weight is around 4K. 4Runners seem to do 5k. Any other suggestions for a smaller suv for launching aside from a Ford?

So - small non Ford SUV.... budget?
How far do you plan to tow?
Where are you launching?

Bullhead to Needles. Budget around 23k. Have an 03 Dodge with a 5.9 I’m selling that was supposed to be the truck but I’m not happy with it.

Why not a Colorado or a Ranger?

I’ll have to look at their pricing but assumed they were all 4cyl. I know our 5.3 Chevy gasser struggled getting our boat up the hill to the house

My Explorer does great for my 21 and 23. I know you said non Ford but I have been really happy with both of mine over the years.

And let me know if ya ever wanna sell the Mach 22! Thats my dream ride.

Wha??? The 5.3 struggled? Not sure what the newer Colorados have. I have an 08 with the 5 banger. I would think even that could handle a small boat around town.

I like the explores but had a lot of issues with a focus we bought and kind of lost faith in the Ford brand.

Looking at lower 20s to spend

I’ll check AM pay off , I fucked up and leased it and I’m 40k over but I can sell or trade in at lease end , wifey wants a new 3500 high country ( hers has 80 k on it ) so I might get her a new 3500 and just drive her old one , but working in California parking that pig is a bitch .

Jeep unlimited, towed our 25 toon no problem 3 miles or so to the ramp, I would never consider leaving town with it but it worked fine getting us to and from the ramp

Why don’t you like your dodge? Have to ask I’m kinda partial . Get a 2003-05 4runner with the v8
