What about those of us who tow to the water? Lets see your tow rigs.

I think Beast could tow NeverLand around the lot, but getting her up the ramp would be a challenge.

Nice truck, and what great present! I believe that's an Azimut.

Ok cool thanks.

My cousin has an older Azimut 58'. These newer shapes look pretty nice too.
 
love my Duramax! tows very nicely

 
Is your engine still alive?
Have the same rig and looking at doing a turbo back with EFI live and shift kit. It gives 5 levels from stock to +150hp. Not interested in wearing out tires, just looking to open up the tail and let it breathe with better economy and enhanced turbo braking.
What tuner are you using?

Engine still alive and gets plenty of workout. I loved my truck with trans and EFI live with turbo back. It sounded mean and had around 500hp. Trans never shifted right with shift kit pushing that much more than stock so I went with a Suncoast Stage V. After that things get way more expensive to keep making power.

Sounds like you have the same package I am looking at. What have you found for economy gains? Understand it to be in the 20%+ area at 400-425 hp.
 
My previous truck, have since got a new GMC Duramax. Pulling my Brother in law's boat, a few years ago.

My 2013 Navigator Limited does a great job towing our '04 Sundeck 240 back and forth to Lake Powell from Phoenix...

The 52 does not trailer, but we tow our 2006 Mastercraft X80, the Junkyard Dawg, (28’ LOA, 9’ beam, twin 350 HP Indmar V Drives) with a 2006 F250 Lariat with a V10 FX4 and 4:11 rear end...which I call Megatron.
 
New tow vehicle for me but dont think its going to tow Aftica....

Economy and horsepower only go together if you can keep your foot off the skinny pedal. So.... I don’t know what I saw when the truck was at that point. Now with full build I get 17-18 highway and 12 city. 10-12 towing 7k.
 
IMG_4251.JPG Bought the 350 Chev. specifically to pull our 320. Tugged it from Lake Ozark to the south shore of Lake Superior. I store the boat in the offseason only 4 miles from our home marina.
I love this truck.
 
Best I can measure is 14'. Permited for 14'2". I needed to modify the pole barn door and trusses. I got about 15'6" clear so it makes it with removing the radar. I left the doors at 12' wide as i didn't want to widen out the open. To much of a pain moving the posts. 2" claear on a side! Backing her in is a treat.

Funny, I just looked at your profile and noticed you live just a few miles down the road from me

Been towing boats for close to 15 years. Here mine sits for sell. Ready to drive to the lake and have the boat already in the water. Will I miss this one? Yes. But I’m ready to slow down and enjoy the boat ride with family.
