Tow vehicle dilemma (yeah, still at it...)
I am still looking for a truck to tow the V. Do any of you find it necessary to have a 4x4 to get it out of the water and up the ramp?

Not neccesary for most good paved ramps to have more than a 2 wheel drive with a limited slip(limited slip is a MUST, unless you like being a one wheel wonder at the ramp). I use some pretty crappy ramps so 4X4 is a requirement for me, but not for many.

I agree with ferm....on a couple ramps I use I wouldnt bring mine home without 4wd, but on most 2wd is ok.

You must have the limited slip as said above!! I use 4x4 from time to time here, it all depends, we have some pretty steep ramps here!
With the Sea Ox being much heavier I will use it more on them steep ramps!! But you should be ok!

No 4x4, but a limited slip rear diff I think is a good idea. I always keep a rake in the back of my truck too to rake off any seaweed, marshgrass etc. Having your trailer tongue weight properly set up helps a lot too.
