I've towed too many boats to count with my old CHEROKEES I have, and towed some boats I had no business towing(WELLCRAT 248 with twin 225's on a bracket and 200 gallons of fuel on board). My current tow vehicle doesn't hardly notice my HYDRA-SPORTS back there, and it weighs in more than a V-20 does. For towing a V-20 short distances most any V-6 pick-up or medium size SUV could do it. I would strongly suggest an auto for taking off and pulling up ramps as I can attest that a stick is a real pain on slick ramps. A 3/4 ton truck is beyond overkill for towing a V-20 IMHO, an extended cab DAKOTA or TOYOTA TACOMA would work nicely so long as it is at least a V-6. Figure out what you need the vehicle for for MOST of the time, then make a list of vehicles that fill it. Then figure out which ones will do the odd jobs and go from there. I know several members here haul there V's with HONDA PILOT's and say they do fine, it's all in what you want out of it, and how you handle it.

And if you want a diesel pick-up, MAHINDRA is supposed to be selling one of there trucks here within the next year that is a mid size with a diesel in it.
