Very nice Justin.

What kind of HP is that putting out? My '04 puts out 335, and I test drove an '09 Ram that puts out 390. My Durango is SCARY fast, for a truck this size! Only gets 13MPG, but I have a lead foot....

It REALLY likes anything over 80mph....

Thanks, good setup and should tow it fine... bit nervous about the first time at a busy boat ramp with it though. Camping this summer by an older couple with a nice motorhome, he found a guy with a truck and traded a case of beer for a launch and a case for retrieval, said he's been doing it that way for years without a problem. I liked his way of thinking.

We recently got a new tow vehicle replacing old 06 F350 6.0 leaker PSD….. Took me a little convincing on admiral but they all worked out… but rather not get into details.. :roll:

Anyway this truck is the best one we have owned so far…. Yes it is a Diesel but this one is so quiet… and almost as quiet as my Audi Q7 on highway… Admiral says it even match with our Boat.....

2011 F350 Lariat Crew Cab. 6.7 PSD..... and all goodies

Already posted these pictures on a different thread since I just added air bags to my rear suspension, but thought that I might as well add them to this thread as well. By the way, Flying Sushi (previous post) provided the FW logos for the sides of my Frenzy. These logos don't normally come on this model...

Nothing special, but here is a picture of my Yukon. It only leaves the garage to tow the boat, tailgate or for road trips.....

Doesn't your 210ss plus the trailer weigh at least 4500 lbs? Doesn't that exceed the tow capacity of the CX 9?

Well finally found the right used truck so the Jeep will get a break from towing duties from now on, picked up an 07 F150 with 24k miles in near mint condition.

Sadly boating season is over, but looking forward to next Spring already.

If all goes as planned, I pick her up this Friday. Can't wait to see how the 6.2 liter, 403 hp beast pulls the boat.

I ran across this pic of my old rig before I got 3 foot-itus.
