New tow Vehicle
 

Well, it was time to get the right vehicle for my Sceptre.
I used auto tempest and cars.com to find traded in vehicles that were not yet advertised. I got this in Miami after driving all over the state.

In the past, I've towed my 23' Sceptre with my friend's Nissan Armada...it towed it GREAT!, just as good as another friend of mine's Chevy Sururban...

Actually, I think I prefered the Armada.

Thanks for the feedback! The wife totaled our Yukon XL in 08 and the Odyssey has towed like a champ for the 18SF. Nissan is now quoting 8200 lbs for this 2.94 rear end. It is still 9100 with 3.36 rear end.

I don't know about the specs on the Armada, but I CAN tell you that the motor has plenty of guts and the chassis handles the load nicely. I've towed my Scepter with a variety of vehicles in the 35 years our family has owned it. Here is a list of our/the tow vehicles in order of how I liked them (Best to worst):

1) 2005 Chevy Suburban 2500 series with 6.0L V8 (VERY powerful engine!!)
2) 2008ish Nissan Armada (nice engine and excellent stablity)
3) 1978 Chevy Suburban with big block 454 ci w/ 4 bbl - and trailer package
4) 2010 Chevy Suburban with 5.3L V8
5) 1976 Crysler Town & County Station wagon with 400ci big 4 bbl V8 - massive vehicle
6) 2011 Ford F150 Standard Cab Longbed with 5.0L Eco boost V8
7) 2008 Chevy 1/2 ton Silverado with 4.8L V8
8) 1991 Jeep full size Grand Wagoneer Limited with 5.9L V8 (too short of a wheelbase)
9) 1984 Jeep Wagoneer with 5.9L V8

Good job Danny!!! Now the fun starts.....watching the fuel mileage when towing the boat!! It will hurt! :)

I used a Jeep Cherokee with a Chevy V6 about 114 HP

Nice rig. Aren't some Nissan trucks GM products, like the Titan?

Cool list of vehicles! Great to hear the feedback. I used to have a 1985 Grand Wagoneer with that 360 Chrysler V8 when I lived in Golden, CO. It was a beast in the snowy Rockies!

Don-Yea, I haven't had a good vehicle to tow for 4 yrs. I am thinking that towing accross to be in Jupiter may be a good option #2 after the Keys. The gas would be less to Jupiter.

Dixon-That's impressive! With your old 23 Sceptre?
