We just placed an order for a new truck and tow vehicle, which looks to be an almost 1 year wait. :shock:

Awesome T. Be sure to get a selfie with it next to my boat at the Marina next year. :D

Stumbled across this thread...interesting to see what everyone tows with! This is my "tow rig"...original retirement plan was a heavy 5th wheel. After buying the truck in 2016, the EX-WIFE decided she didn't want to be "stuck" in the cab with me for weeks at a time. :shock: :roll: :evil: So, the dually has become my boat tow rig. I will say, I've never had any traction issues at the ramp and it runs straight as a string on the road!

That's a long wheelbase, too, which makes for smooth towing. Looks like you're all set to move up to an R30 ;)
