Vehicle for Towing boat
V Crenshaw wrote:
My husband and I have a 21 foot Searay. We have it in a slip at a marina now. Together it and the trailer weighs 3000 lbs. We are going to buy a new vehicle and we are trying to decide what kind would most closely meet our criteria of 1) hauling misc things like building materials, tools, an occasional sofa or washing machine 2) Holding 4 or more people 3) towing the boat 4) As fuel efficent as possible Truck would be great for everything except the people and fuel. We were thinking about a minivan, but don't know how good it would be at towing the boat and more specifically launching the boat. I say minivan because he likes them better than SUV's. Any advice would be appreciated. V Crenshaw 1. Toyota Sienna. 2. Honda Odyssey. I'm not really a big fan of either marque (I am a die-hard in the Ford camp), but these get the job done well. They have like 220-240 hp V-6 engines and very respectable towing ratings, lots of room for passengers and/or cargo, and neither one really seems like the stereotypical mini-van in handling & appearance. My first choice would be the Sienna. Rob |
