I posted a couple years ago that we were looking for a boat but since we had a Wrangler with a 3.5k tow capacity, our options were limited until we were ready to get rid of the jeep.
We're looking at F150s & Silverados (feel free to opine on the RAM) but not sure how much tow capacity I should have to SAFELY tow.
Looking at some Regals, Sea Rays (feel free to dissuade me), and open to other "beginner" boats that weight around 4k dry. Realistically how much should a truck be able to tow?
Should I be looking into specific packages? Certain engines? Engines to avoid? How much is it to realistically add on weight wise when it comes to trailer, gas, etc.
Any other beginner boats on the lighter side? We're open to pontoons as well but it feels a bit redneckish (even though I know they're not).
