smallest truck to tow 23 ft up boat ramp

[ocuyler]

Your 1500 will easily pull a 23CC up any ramp in low gear. The 305 with the 3.42 gears is a very light set up for any distance beyond the ramp. As previously discussed here, a 1500 with 5.3 or 5.7, 3.73 gears and a trailer package is pretty much the minimum for highway hauling.
