So, I have completed the work needed to get "AnnaLise" in the water, and under sail, but now.........
I own a Ford Ranger XLT Super Cab, 4x4 with the 3.0 V6 engine, class III hitch, and some friends and others are saying "sure, that will tow your boat just fine," others say, "are you *&^%$ing serious?! I wouldn't pull a Golf Cart on a Trailer with that setup!!"
I know the trailer and boat weigh about 3000-3500, I don't have a galley, nor anything else on the boat (outboard goes in the back of the truck)
Will my Ford do the job, ( had the Ford before the boat), I know I need to hook up the trailer brakes, (they are electric) but not if the truck can't handle it! Sure don't want 3500lbs of boat chasing me down the road! Underwear is getting expensive!
