Default Tow Vehicle

How's the Cobra treating you Bill? Any good fish stories?

Chevy Avalanche. I'm on my second and the 2007 comes with a flex fuel
motor that runs on reg gas or E85Ethanol. Pulls the boat great and is
Very comfy. With the seats folded down you can close the tailgate on a
full size sheet of plywood. I'm getting 17.5mpg around town and 20.2 on
interstates (haven't checked with the Cobra in tow). Doc

I have been pulling my 20 foot Skeeter with a 2000 Z71 pickup. Love the
truck, handles the boat real good, gas milage not very good, got about
12 mpg on the road on my trip but I drive pretty fast, usually set the
cruise control 10 mph over the posted limit. It has 140,000 miles on it
now.

I had planned on replacing this truck with another one just like it,
keeping the old one to haul wood and do dirty work, keep the new one
for trips and pulling the boat. Sleeping in the cab of the truck and
trying to load it for a 2.5 week trip made me think about getting
something different, like a Surburban.

I pulled boats with full size vans for about 20 years and like the
truck better for backing, especially, but think I can handle most
anything. Not real worried about gas milage. Want something that will
handle the boat as well as my truck but give me more inside room.

I talked to Chris and Jim I think it was with a Surburban and a Tahoe
at the NWC and both liked their choices.

Any comments on tow vehicles?
