What do you use to tow your boat?

2014 Durango R/T with the 5.7L Hemi, but I keep my boat in a slip 99.9% of the time.Durango.jpg

2005 Chevy Suburban w/ 130,000 miles. AWD, LT with Autoride.

Last year I replaced the ride control compressor, rear shocks and air lines. I was going to just let it go, but I realized I was scuffing the bottom of the boat-trailer's spare tire at the top of the ramp due to the sag in the rear-end.

I did some research and was able to do all the work myself for a LOT cheaper than what the dealer wanted to do the work.

I coulda gone even cheaper still and swapped out the rear springs and shocks for standard springs and shocks with air bags but decided I liked the auto-leveling feature of the original system.
 
I use the marina's forklift.

Have only towed the boat to/from the house once in two years. Did it with my 2010 F-150 FX2.

I will be using my 14 tundra 4x4 TSS off-road edition to tow my boat. Bought it few weeks ago for the new ar210 I'm picking up. I feel so spoil this month. :rolleyes:

2012 Tundra 4x4, but I generally only tow it a few times since I have a slip and lift at the lake.
 
2007 Cadillac EXT. Love the way it pulls.
