thats some good pics and i dont understand the weight thing either but i should be alright i just want to pull a 14' enclosed with the bike and some other things in there for bike week when i get back. Im up north in mosul and they are pretty good on letting us know that they have mortars but its all good this is what i get paid for.

 

What do those boats weigh? Wow! Yeah, I might be going back there to Iraq/Kuwait in a year, they keep saying "the Desert" I think more like the mountains-Afgan. Whichever. Stay safe!

 

Not sure, I know that it isn't a light boat... maybe 5500????

 

the baja loaded with gas (all 80 gallons ) and all they toys is about 5k lbs plus the carload of people. i really wouldnt tow much more. because of the size and weight, you really have to plan out your stops and take your time with anything. there is no comparison between me towing it, and grabbin pops f250

 

part of the reason the mileage sucks towing is if it had 4.10 or 4.3 if they were made, it would stay in 4th gear longer, which is as high as tow haul will let it go, it cuts out 5th. Even with 3.92s 4th gear ratio ends up being 2.94, with a tall tire....the 545 needs the gear ratio redone

 

...thank God for my 6-speed manual...

 

Here here! No slip, no heat, no problems! Just let that mighty 3.7 wail away at 3 grand all day!

 

I only could wish they had made the 5 or six speed manaul available with the ho engine....getting to be a thing of the past...kinda sucks...taking the control away from the driver...mileage too, I think

 

Yeah 06 was the last yr of the Getrags with the V8s...
