Default Re: stuart guys? what do you use to pull you boa

I have an 03 GMC Sonoma {S-10} 4.3 auto reg cab v6 2wd w/ the G-80 ELECTRONIC FULLY LOCKING 3.42 diff. tow pkg hd susp.

To me that`s the key, it`s rated at 6000 lbs . Me thinks not. I don`t believe I could yank a 23. I have weenie 205`s and at low tide it can spin if you get on it.I`ve never had to air down yet.... 1 person on the bumper has been used at low tide.

The cops and onlookers are always amazed that my l`il truck can do this. I love the cheering and jeering. MPG sucks w/ the 3.42 18 mpg mixed.

Towed my Seafari up to Canaveral for last shuttle launch with 98 Dakota/5.2L V-8 w/tow & handling package, partly on turnpike and part A1A. Averaged over 13 mpg! I was expecting 10-12 towing. Trans temp never went over 180! Has been a very reliable truck for 60K miles.

I tow my 20CC with my 1965 Chevy C-10 with 230 inline 6. 150 miles each way to the River. Piece of cake...
