[Rhodes22-list] Another towing question

[Mark West]

I tow mine with a Nissan xterra ,v6 2wd. Would not want to pull in mountains. I'm  more worry about stopping it. Breaks on trailers concern me .   I bought a lot across form boat ramp keep boat there when not at pier, put boat in and out now with compact  Kubota tractor    Mark

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Another towing question

Previous discussions about towing have focused on towing the R22 over significant distances and with boats that are loaded with gear.

I only tow my boat about 5 miles twice a year - to the nearby ramp and back. I dock the boat at my house so I don't need to load it down with stuff.

Currently I am using a Honda Pilot which handles the boat easily but it is now 16 years old and is coming up for replacement. I am reluctant to get more vehicle than I need and am wondering what experience those on the list with vehicles that have a 3500 lb towing capacity.

Any thoughts are welcome.
