Exactly, I was thinking that it might be a good idea to purchase some advertising on sites that cover Boats because those are the people who tow their toys so to speak. I started looking through those types of sites that have a towing forum because other diesel sites might consider my site competition even though it's focus is more on towing.<br />Anyway, to make a long story short, after reading through some of the posts in this forum (towing) it looks like a lot of people tow with mini-vans, SUV's, some even cars, so just wanted to find out if I'm even on the right track?

Cool, I have a 98 3/4 ton Suburban that I tow 8,000 pounds with, really bogs down in the mountains though, used to live in Red Wing MN by the way, loved the fall there, but not the winter.

2005, F-150 4 X 4 Super Crew. 5.4 3V Triton.<br /><br />It does great with up to about 8K. It'll pull/stop more, just not in MY comfort zone.<br /><br />Anything over that needs a 3/4 ton, IMHO.
