Show us your tow vehicle

And that VLX might be listed @ 3700lbs, but it weighs more than that. That's a dry weight, no tower, no options, and has been proven time and time again to be way under what the boat really weighs. Get a G23 on a scale and find out the REAL numbers.

I figured if he could balloon the boats weight by 600lbs, I could drop the trailer weight by 200lbs. Or maybe just ditch some of the gear and only have 3/4 of a tank of fuel...

I wasn't intentionally ballooning the weight. I honestly thought it was 5800 not incl. tower. I think i mixed it up with 2800 lbs of ballast.

As far as my Jeep goes, it is not my primary tow vehicle. I only use it in a pinch and only around town (e.g. lower speeds). My point was simply that the boat feels heavy back there with a smaller tow rig.


Look it doesn't matter. I don't even know you or care what you do. If you want to tow the heaviest wake boat on the planet with a midsize suv, knock yourself out. Please post a picture when that ***** is actually yours.

I would say your tone and use of expletives signals that you do care.

Carry on with the big rigs!
