thats a nice little boat you got there

I towed my 18.5 ft Bayliner all over the place last summer with 31s 5speed and 3.07s it was fine until I hit hills. Now I have 33s and the same gears so I will not even bother trying to tow it anywhere over 35mph until I re-gear. The biggest problem I had was braking, I toasted brakes super fast running the boat around.

No problem (specs in Sig) 16.5' 50hp merc



X1000000 On the brakes, I can feel it pushing. Any bigger and I'd be looking for a trailer w/brakes/torsion axle maybe.

i have a 21 rabalo boat my dad thinks it weighs around 3500 can i tow that with my i6 cherokee? my main concern is launchin it because of the size of it im afraid my jeep will follow the boat into the bay? and will my jeepeven be able to pull it? and stop at trafic lights?

Probably need to start a new thread. Towing successfully is not only the vehicle but the driver is the other part of the equation. With a little common sense and awareness of the dynamics behind you it is possible.
I tow a similar setup with an '04, I-6 GC with no problem.

I've pulled an 18' aluminum around for with my nearly stock 97 many times. Barely know it's there. I've also pulled a car on a trailer (very sketchy, never doing it again).

Basically stock, with my 17.5' Procraft (2600lbs), and completely loaded with gear in the back(~650lbs) of the XJ. Worn out springs squat but ride well. I used drive until i hit the interstate, and put the cruise on at 70mph. It's like it's not even there unless i'm braking. I run both F&R sway bars still.

I pull a 21ft Key West which I think is about 3000 lbs. It is fine on the flat roads, and launching is fine, I just put it in low 4WD to get some traction on the slippery slip. Hills are a different matter - you can see the temp gauge creeping up and feel the motor struggling. I'd never consider pulling it long distances.

Ok thx

You suck I towed a 4 or 5 hundred pound trailer with probably 1200 pounds of a/c units on it and it thru me all over the road at 65mph was sketchy as heck to say the least. Iv got 3.5in lift with 31s with front and rear sway bars. Granted its a 2dr but Id expect a lil bit more stability out of it. Dont think Ill ever tow a trailer behind my jeep again.

If when towing it did not feel right check a few things... Are your rear leafs saggy? Does your jeep have a Trans cooler?

Heres my cherokee with a 16ft aluminum which towed really well. I also tow a sled trailer with two sleds on it. I have done a few trips towing the sled trailer that were over a 1000km. My cherokee has the 4cyl. I do not see why you should have any problems

Slim357

Got new leaf springs and I do have the Trans cooler. Did great power wise pulling but no so much with handling
