Boat, trailer, battery (or batteries), fuel, life jackets, etc... will
put
this boat at 6000 lbs if not more. You really need to get it weighted
at a
local truck scale to know for sure. I would hope you have a friend
who has
a truck you could use for a couple of hours. You want something with
a
towing capacity of 7000 or more to be able to maintain a decent speed
with
it.

Since the Rendezvous equipped with the optional towing package is only
rated
for 3500 lbs - Definetly not.

The extended length Trail Blazer / Envoy w/ the V8 is rated to 7000
lbs
which should work fine.

Also I am sure the Expedition, Yukon, etc.. are probably rated about
the
same or more and would work fine in an SUV. Otherwise - full size
pickup w/
V8 engine.

I mentioned I got a 22' crestliner this year. I need something to
haul it
with ( my Chevy Caviler is NOT gonna do it).

I've tried researching on the net, but Crestliner seems to no longer
make
cruisers (the boat I got is an 81)

How do I find the weight, and can someone suggest a reasonably good
tow
vehicle, that will also serve for daily use around town. Given the
price
of gas, millage will be a consideration. I like the looks of the
Buick
Rendezvous, but is the towing capacity sufficient?

How about calling Crestliner here in Minnesota? You might be surprised
at how helpfull they would be.

My guess is you will need at least 5000 lb of capacity, which means
pickup or SUV type vehicle.
