The tow vehicle brake system must be able to stop the rig in a

it can pull the boat out of the hole (also doubtful) is irrelevant..
Get a real truck. F250 minimum., F350 better.

I seriously dont think even a F350 would stop that boat and trailer in
an emergency. With that rig...you'd be " goin' in " in a panic
stop.The tow vehicle would simply slide, even on dry pavement.
