CTT we just towed a V20 12 hours each way with Rob's truck with a V6 Auto in it. It did fine and he has a lot of miles on that puppy.

Did that truck come from the factory w/a tow package?...Ferm's ZACKLY right about a transmission cooler...add one if you need to...

The route to where the boat is...is it a hilly one or relatively flat?...I-95 that Willy & Rob did to Charleston is fairly flat land...if you got a mountain range to traverse, you might wanna find another way...then there's the question of braking power...you ain't got a favorite uncle w/an F250?...

I had a 1991 Ford Explorer with a 4.0 litre V6 and tow package. It towed my 20' Formula just fine. I did not tow 1000 miles, but I did tow it about 300 miles from Indiana to Dale Hollow Lake in Kentucky and the trip included quite a few hills. Kept it out of overdrive in the hilly areas and it did great.

She'll do it, but will be a bit doggy with a 3.9l and 3.55 gears in a quad cab.
