Of course, "Dis is de islands mon," and my rig is waaay better than some of the ones you see here every day.

I feel yah bruddah. Dat’s right I see half tons towing boats way, way over tow specs all the time. Prices are crazy and selection is near zero most of the time here anyway.
But get the biggest you can find and afford and stay in specs. I ended up with a Titan 4x4 for now. It’s within weight specs, but I’d much rather have a 3/4 ton Srw diesel with exhaust brake and trailer brakes. But dat’s crazy kine money.
2 issues is stopping and if trailer starts swaying you be in big trouble. Weight and length will hope on both as will weight distribution hitch and brake controller
