BS...if ya wanna haul 4 guys and a boat, this is the best way *I can think of to do it...4-doors, full back seat...cars (no matter what the torque numbers ) just aren't TOWING machines...as long as they've been makin' crew-cab PUs now, there oughtta be one out there in any price-range (utility companies auction them off reularly)...

It occurred to me and MJ said it too, cars are not GEARED to tow...they're geared to cruise utilizin' their available torque...go w/a truck...you'll be buyin' into less headaches ;) ...and btw...Ford, Chevy, GMC, Dodge...pick one...they've all got pluses and minuses...just get como of HP, torque and towin' pkg and yer THERE!! 8) ...
