I was thinking the Prius may be the worst tow vehicle I'd ever seen, until I remembered people doing this:

Gotta get the racing tires and gear to the track somehow, I suppose.

That GMC is ready!

I once saw a GTO towing two jet skis in Jersey. I was absolutely perplexed - then I pulled up next to him and saw the driver... I wasn't perplexed anymore.

What kind of time frame are you looking at for your order? I was recently told it would be late June / early July for a new 220s.

Yep, the 4Runner is maxed out. I have AirLift bags in the rear springs which balances the trailer load well. My trip to the lake takes about 65 minutes and includes 70MPH highway and 50MPH country roads. All things considered, the truck pulls the boat well.

I just picked up my boat in Alabama and drove it back to Norris Lake Tennessee. A friend of mine offered to help as he likes to use his rig. He had it custom built to tow his fifth wheel. Here are a couple of pictures. His rig is a 2016 Ford F450 hooked up to my 2016 Cobalt R5. We turned a lot of heads on our adventure!

Now THAT is a truck! Surprised you could even feel the boat back there. :)
Beautiful boat by the way. Time to get a tonneau cover.

Nice BB! Here's mine. I've got an old 80 series Landcruiser that I use sometimes too.
