I don't tow. Don't even own a trailer.

It's no more difficullt thatn my 248 Vista was. Same steps and procedures, just bigger. My wife actually loads the boat onto the trailer. We dock, I go fetch the truck and she drives it right up onto the trailer. She says loading is a hundred times easier than backin ghte trailer down the ramp.

I single hand it all the time when I go out alone. A good trailer that is set up properly is all it takes.

The truck looks very similar in each picture, the big difference is in what's behind it. :D

Hello everyone,
I just discovered this site. Glad to see there is a FW specific one out now. This is my first post. Here's my tow vehicle: 2005 Tacoma.

Image

The tractor here is our other tow vehicle (we use it to launch the boat on the beach right in front of our place, cheaper than the ramp)
