Default Tow Vehicle Features Needs and Wants


"Chuck Coger" wrote in message

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


***Adequate power and torgue (300 hp, 500 lb/ft torque), Auto transmission with cooler, ability to
seat 4 adults comfortably, decent fuel economy, 4 wheel drive, some cargo carrying capacity, cruise
control, decent stereo, power mirrors, a good brushguard and great looks.

#Wanted Features


***All of the above plus, 4 wheel steering, seat covers that are water/stain proof, more cab room,
remote starting, rear window defroster, heated side mirrors.

#Dream Features (future developments or recomendations)


***All I want is a Chevy Suburban with a Duramax Diesel/Allison transmission, well then as long as
we're dreaming, lets add a HyperTech Power Chip, Exhaust Braking, 4" performance exhaust, K&N Air
Flow system, 3" lift kit, 36" Off-Road tires, a "Deer Proof" brush guard with integrated winch, then
camoflague the whole thing!!! I'm not asking for much, am I?
