What are you towing ?

So what do you pull behind your truck ? I finally got to break out the boat over the weekend for it's first weekend out on the water. Nice to finally use the truck for that one reason I bought it for.

Great looking Truck, Boat and Jet ski! Congrats on the new boat, looks sharp! I need to get some pics of all the toys with the Raptor leading the way!

Where do you boat?

We started with a Yamaha SHO waverunner a few years ago and just bought a new Chaparral 226 to go with the Raptor. Can't wait for Memorial day at Lake Anna (our normal spot).

Thanks. I'm jealous of the raptor, I would have one if they offered it in the screw when I bought mine. But with the lift and tires and i just did the 2wd locker mod on my fx4 im happy with it.

We usually stick around Hampton with the boat, going out into the bay. Those pics where at factory point which is at the northeast corner of hampton. But i would like to make a run to the eastern shore on a nice day. The boat handles chop petty good, but in thebay it can get nasty quick. We also try to make it down to the chickahominy river a couple times a year.

This is my toy. I'll pull the four wheelers and some occasional farm equipment...but this is what most of my towing miles are used on. 200 miles round trip to the lake most weekends from spring until November.

I'm pulling it with a 2010 F150 Lariat SCREW 4x4. It's the vehicle for family vacations as well as all of my hunting and fishing. It does an admirable job in those roles.

It has all the power ya need, the suspension is just a little soft going over bumps. Boat and trailer are about 14k lbs
