LOL... I'm sure there's not tail wagging the dog there!
Actually it towed straight as an arrow and stopped well with the surge brakes. Able to drive with one hand on the wheel and never spilled a beer!
Did drop to 45 mph floored in 2nd gear up a grade.
For those thinking it’s a staged photo. We drug the boat about 10 miles from campsite to launch on the highway multiple times.
Best part was the reactions of the folks at the boat ramp! It was otherwise uneventful.
More so this post is for the “1 ton to pull a pop up” crowd. Boat + trailer is about 6000lbs. Being pulled with a drivetrain that’s has the same power as pickup trucks of years past and likely About the same braking ability.
Would I want to tow it hundreds of miles? Nope.
Would it plug down the road at 55-60 mph slowing a bit on uphill grades? Yup
