Not sure if this is the right forum/section to address this,...but I also need to consider a tow vehicle. I'm looking at the new Ford Ranger with the 2.3L EcoBoost engine. Ford says that with the correct tow package,it should be able to tow close to 7,000 lbs. I have my reservations about towing that much weight with a 4 cyl. engine,even if it is turbocharged. I'm thinking I MIGHT be better off with an F-150 w/3.3L V6,or 5.0L V8,...if I go F-150,...I thinking going used as NEW trucks seem so insanely expensive these days,...even your bottom line 2WD XL regular cab models. I've also considered a RAM 1500 2WD with the 3.6L V6. I don't need a truck with all the fancy bells and whistles,guys! Your thoughts? The pontoon,motor,and trailer may only weigh 3,000 lbs. max.,...but still,....towing with a four banger concerns me!
