Do I need a bigger truck??

[Shlbyntro]

I'm not quite sure the 550 is big enough to haul out this 2 seater Aquatrax. Should I upgrade to an F150?

 

[jeepdog]

just use 4 low...lol

 

[Justsomeguy]

That kind of weight....better go with a Kodiak to be safe. Or maybe something with some military axel swap.

I’d air down and get a few people to jump up and down on the rear bumper.

You need max tow with eco boost

 

[Brokeboatin221]

This is what you need.....

I don't think a little red express truck wanna be is going to cut it..... maybe something bigger?

Yes as that is a 20 year old truck my f150 is better in every way. This is a true statement not sarcastic

That truck regularly pulls 25k out of the water on a 15° ramp, on a nearly daily basis. Please explain...

I think you’re gonna need a class 8.

That trailer needs at least 2 more axles.

Yeah I'm kinda curious too. Are you saying payload is greater on a newer F150 than that truck?

 

[WYRD]

Pretty sure a F550 has more towing capacity than an F150

I'd trade that in for a Kodiak and add a couple axles to that trailer!

 

[rivrrts429]

Are you trying a different prop?

 

[RCDave]

Some on this site will recommend that kind of load will need a Semi

2-5/16 ball mounted on the bumper for that trailer?

My next door neighbor tows his 23LSV with an X3

 

[Sleek-Jet]

Yes, the answer is always yes.

No way.!! My wife thinks her Rover is bad ass for towing the 26 deck (across the street to the launch ramp)... No way I would want to tow any further in that shorty... already Squirrley enough with out towing!

yeah we just tow locally. It has enough power (440tq td6) but it’s just too smallto be comfortable.
