Show us your Tow Vehicle!

Bigger motor, well 488 cubic inches, 310hp 450 ftlb of torque. They don't have one right now, so I guess I'll have to stick with this.
Senator, with a gooseneck it's rated for 13,500lb. It has the towing package on it, has the reese hitch under the rear bumper, 7500lb or 10,500lb is you have the load distributing set up. I guess it will be over kill on the 1500 lb trimate

, But pulling the car trailer with the 4700lb plynouth fury on it, it will be welcome.

Somehow, he managed to get his wife to trade her car for his dream truck.

it's really a cool truck... just right in the color too.. i see only the black dodge with black windows overhere but the white one i like more.

i ordered a VW touareg 5.0 V10 TDI a month ago on a company numberplate. i get him 01 july 04. i have no picture's yet but as i have him i'l post them here.

Gus, you wouldn't have paid $41,000 anyway! My '04 Avalanche has a window sticker of $41,565 but since it's an American vehicle with lots of profit, I got it for $11,000 off! But I'll bet you stole that used vehicle like you stole the 300M..........

Really no secret. I just asked her. Are we going on vacation? Yep, Are we bringing the boat? Yep. Are we going to tour the lake's around here? Yep, we going to bring the boat? Yep. Will my ramcharger tow the car trailer with the 4700LB fury on it, yep, but it doesent like it. So with all the above why are we going to keep the 300M. No good answer given. So Bye Bye 300m, hello Dodge ram.
Man I love the V-10.

Way to put your foot down 175checkmate, a truck is always better than a car anyways, and when you can make her understand that even better. Good luck with the v-10.
 
I don't have any pictures, but I depend on my Chevy 2500HD to pull my 253 Convincor. I had a regular Chevy 1500, but the transmission wouldn't hold up to pulling the load. The Chevy 6.0 Liter will pull at any speed I want to run. Also good for pulling my 9,000lb camper.

F150GT Nice rig even though i'm not a ford fan I can respect a clean ride, nice. Must look good lowing the mate!

Its a little overkill for towing the Mate, I used to have a 27 MAGNUM Sport painted to match that I hauled around. It was a sweet combo.
Looks good with the Enchanter though.
