Is your tow vehicle a Acura MDX? I think max towing ranges 3500-5000 pounds depending on model and trim. We use to have one. Depending on how far you are towing that’s a lot of weight for that vehicle. Maybe you have a hoist but I would not be towing many miles wit that vehicle and a 242x. Just my opinion. Maybe others on here know more
Wow...the vehicles some of you guys pull boats with crack me up! Super sketchy..
Just a few miles.
Congrats on the new boat ...BUT....hopefully you never have to use the brakes during those miles.....
Buy an old beater truck that's rated to tow the weight. If you need to slam on your brakes I don't think that little Acura is going to keep up with what the boat is going to try and do. Safer for you and everyone else on the road no matter how short of a drive you think it is. Most car accidents happen within 25 miles of home.
Agreed, only a few miles to lake Winnebago. I'm looking for a used truck for my 16 year old, that's my new tow vehicle. ?
That is where I got my first two jetboats from!Finally took delivery, let the mods begin ?
Shout out to Jeff Martini @ Nielson Enterprises, Lake Villa, Illinois.
Actually, the MDX has monster disk brakes and probably stops better and faster than most trucks. It's the transmission I'd be concerned about....but regardless the point is moot as he says he's getting a truck to tow it.Congrats on the new boat ...BUT....hopefully you never have to use the brakes during those miles.....
