well havent done any towing with it yet but will find out i guess. got a 26 ft pontoon boat prolly about 3000 dry weight and 26ft Proline runabout which probably is about 5000lbs dry. right at the trucks capacity. which i wont tow much but be nice too know i could. was just doing some reading on the boards and didnt even thing about gear ratio when i bought the truck. got a steal on it so i could really care less.
