Re: Tow Vehicle Preferences for more than 5K lbs
I pulled a 24 Seabird with a half ton E150 truck equiped with the appropriate towing package for a decade or so. Mostly highway towing. Worked fine, no problems towing, at the ramp or anywhere else, but I never really trusted it.
I pull the Seafari 25 with a E250 van, 3/4 ton, 6800 lb tow package and hardly know its back there. Just had the tranny inspected (60,000 miles) and everything looks perfect.
Fair warning, good mileage is not in the cards. The 150 used to get about 11mpg highway and the 250 only gets about 9, if that.
