> [@somedude](#): > > its a small fishing boat and he pulls his 2 sleds around in the winter. he pulls the sleds now with his SHO with its “N/A” towing rating (because of the transmission). he could probably drag the boat behind his SHO too if he needed to. People that tow fall into two groups. Group A, the group I belong to: Was it designed to tow the load, and do it safely without compromising the lifespan of the vehicle. Group B, the group I used to belong to: If you put a hitch on it, hook up your trailer, and the front wheels are still on the ground and the combo will physically move, it must be ok. Basically, not a question of “can you do it” but “should you do it”. That being said though, a small fishing boat is pretty vague. Take it to a public scale and check it, same with the two sleds on their trailer. I had mine checked when I was thinking about a couple of SUVs with 3500lb ratings and knew that at 3400lbs I had no margin for safety. Ended up at the far other end of the scale anyway… the Expedition is rated at 8500 lbs. I have to check the mirrors to be sure the boat is still there. 🙂 ---

If he drives the GTO he will love it. And the engine combo you mentioned is just sick. Truely a great car!! If they were a few hundred pounds lighter I would get one myself. > [@LXTASY](#): > > How has the SRT8 Cherkoee been overlooked??? That would meet every one of his goals… Not exactly Mike, you can’t tow with them. Well you can but you need to get very creative with your trailer hitch mount. ![http://www.swiftindavis.com/sblog/media/1/20050328-jgc_srt8.jpg](http://www.swiftindavis.com/sblog/media/1/20050328-jgc_srt8.jpg) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-a-friend-is-trying-to-decide-what-car-to-buy-low-13sec-cars-or-faster/20072.md?page=2)
