I cannot think of a road I would rather drive on LESS THAN than I-95 in Connecticut. It's like NASCAR for the rest of us!

YIKES!

I would NEVER trailer my SC through CT!!!!

The reporter must not be a boater. .the boat is a Regulator not called the Regulator..Sad site..

I recently had a person in their Ford Excursion with 26' boat in tow blast past me doing close to 80mph in heavy traffic here in Atlanta (in the rain). If the Regulator incident reported in the paper is correct in that the driver was speeding, AND nobody unrelated to the actual vehicle or boat was hurt, it makes a great photo and a wonderful diversion from an otherwise dull ride home. This is one of those things that the person driving will probably only do once.

Anyone know the tow Cap. of an expedition? A 26 Regulator fully rigged must weigh in excess of 10,000lbs

I wonder how insurance will handle that?

"When properly equipped with the available 5.4L Triton™ V8 engine, Expedition can tow up to a class-leading 8,900 lbs. ... "

I'd agree with Trayder on the 9500 to 10,000 rigged out weight...

A "little" under powered...
