Sigh. Where did I once say need? I said turbo diesel SUV, which tows 7-8k just fine. I was simply listing some alternatives, not requirements. Minimum I would want is 6500 to tow these boats and there aren't many with that tow capacity without moving to a half ton or TDI/GC at 7400lbs. Check the weight of the d-drive boats, most of which usually weigh in or around 3k. 500-600 extra pounds on a v drive + the larger gas tanks and you are in a different tow capacity range. 5k tow capacity with a short wheel base is really pushing things on even the lighter v-drives. My v215 + trailer weighs 4600 before fuel, gear and passengers. I dont think any of us want to be that guy who can't pull his new toy around with a peace of mind.
