I am going to take some of my free time and really rate a few of the tow
vehicles available on the market today. I am going down to the dealer and
see if they will let me test drive a few with my boat on the back.

Before I get too far though I wanted some input from the group on exactly
what you look for in a tow vehicle. Once I get a good list I will work on
getting them rated in order of importance via a poll.

So what are they in these catagories?

#Necessary Features

#Wanted Features

#Dream Features (future developments or recomendations)

Once I get this done we can post it on the ROFB faq page as well.

I got most of these when I ordered the present one to yank my 18' glass
boat, none are optional:

Big V-8 (next one's diesel)
auto trans w/ cooler
5000# rated hitch - I have the swing/extend tube for it, handy item for
gravel drives.
long wheelbase - this extended cab, shortbox Chebby is way safer than the
old Bronco ever was
4WD, fairly aggressive LT tires
heavy duty mudflaps
accessory rear lights
I recently fished the wiring for inertial brake controller and for trailer
brakes - next time I'll get it built in.
