my 21' would pull fine but i'm upgrading to a 24' and I doubt the runner will pull it well


Yeahhhh if it's an Xpress or something you'll be good but a 24' glass boat would not take nicely to a V6

Land Cruiser has my vote. I love mine and also have a Lexus LX570 which is basically a LC with a Lexus logo. Best vehicles I’ve ever owned.


I wish I could put the 570 interior inside the LC body.

I’m poor. I’d buy a Raptor if I wasn’t poor.

The 4-runner usually has the same towing capacity as a Tacoma, which is approx. 8600lbs. Therefore, the Raptor wouldn't meet your needs to tow a bigger boat. Also, what is the wet weight of the boat you are looking to tow?

Edit: supposed to be 6800lbs, not 8600lbs

I need a new suit, any thoughts on Hickey Freeman or Canali? What about a t-shirt from Ed Hardy?

your joke would have been better if you said men's wearhouse b/c it's still a suit. Raptor is still a vehicle capable of towing a boat. Nice try though.

Whether I need a truck vs an SUV is up for debate.

I couldn't decide if I wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer so I became an It Works! independent salesperson (that drives a Raptor)



ETA: joking aside, the Ford trailer backup assist is pretty handy. Not sure if your SUV options offer something similar.

What is the wet weight of the boat you want to tow? The issue of towing a boat on a Raptor isn't power but gearing and the soft suspension. I wouldn't recommend it.

That doesn't work, Men's Wearhouse would be like a Dodge Ram

You need something with a super douchey component and I'm not aware of a suit maker that fits.

I'd like to make a career change. I'm looking to get into investment banking or starting my own hedge fund. Right now I'm leaning towards manager at a local Red Lobster.

New F150s are just as nice as anything Gm produces, so this doesn't really make much sense.

probably in the 5-6 range

I'm looking at some used 24' bays. (tidewater, sea hunt, sportsman, sea born, etc.)

I towed a Malibu behind a Raptor for a few years... not exactly the best truck for the job. The rear end isn't really geared for it. But a Raptor will do it... just make sure you keep up with the maintenance.

If it is 5,000, a 4 Runner will do it no problem... but stopping can be hairy if you don't have trailer brakes.

If you want to pay twice as much for a sticker, then get the Raptor and they will throw in a yeti.
