Towing a H-25
Midlander,I have a 2005 H-25 and I bought a Toyota 4Runner 4.0 liter/V6 at basically the same time to tow it. The Toyota has a 5000 lb tow rating and struggles to tow the boat on other than flat surfaces. For this reason, we changed our intitial plan to trailer sail and put the boat in a marina. It is my own fault because I didn't want to buy a V8 for gas economy reasons and I didn't listen to comments made on this forum. George has an excellent web site and a lot of useful information.A general rule of thumb is to tow no more than 75% of the tow capacity, (maybe I got it form George's site?). The tow capacity includes people and cargo in the vehicle too, so I would err on the side of being overrated rather than under. Also, the weight of my boat with motor, fuel, cooler, tools, and all the bells and whistles which you will add when you get your boat will easily exceed 5000 lbs. Enjoy the boat,Barry
