While in Mt Pleasant today I saw this beast of a tow rig trailering her boat I tried to get a better look but I think it had a hemi in it.

This new tow rig won't pull new boat.

Out with the Old in with the new. Only problem is now the new 2016 explorer sport won't pull the new AR240. But the upgrade from the AR210 was well worth it. Good thing for 2nd tow rig.

Just upgraded my boat hauler... 2012 Tahoe LTZ. Came with the heavy duty hauling package (load leveling suspension, HD rear axle)
Cannot wait to pull the boat this weekend and see what differences I notice.

Is your wife's X5 the gas or diesel model? My old vehicle was the BMW X5 XDRIVE35D and was really decent at pulling. The Tahoe is much better...

Agreed. If they'd at least put in the rear leveling suspension things would be different. I had to install my own receiver which was super expensive...and ultimately a waste of money :/

Sweet Truck, aside from the fact that it only seats 1 and doesn't have much room for bags and coolers.

Mazzy I just noticed your old boat picture you truck was spotless. Then you get the new boat and your truck needs a bath. I think that is backwards you need to photshop your clean truck with your new boat. Nice set up though love the look.

Yeah she's not pretty, she's not fast, the millage is horrendous (GPM, not MPG), but she nearly always gets the boat on the water before me.:thumbsup:
