Wow! That 179 HP is just a bit more than half of the 350 HP in my
SUV and the torque is less than half.

What a (chick) machine!

You aren't going to try to tow with that, right?

I think the Navigator is rated at 5500. It has 330 cu in and 300 hp. I
have a one ton boat and no trailer brakes. The heft it has is more
than handy. We tried to pull it behind a Ranger and it didn't like to
stop.
I have a 94 horse Mercedes that is rated at 150 tons,
300 if you connect the brakes on the railcars. Whatever

Are we supposed to be impressed that Dickqueless Krueger has an SUV with
twice the horsepower of someone else's SUV? Wow...that sure does it for
me, but it doesn't change the indisputable fact that Krueger is snarky,
worthless piece of ****, and worthy only of being filtered out of usenet.

I successfully towed a boat the size and weight of Krueger's behind a V6
Ranger without problems. You don't need a 350 hp SUV to tow a 19-foot boat.

Of course you don't. My 22HP lawn tractor could pull your Parker.
Wheelbase, weight, frame, strength, and brakes are the key issues when
selecting a tow vehicle. ALL SUVs are terrible tow vehicles. My wife's,
chic car CRV, on the other hand is an excellent towed vehicle. The
petrol per KM we get on it is astounding.
