We were thinking diesel F250 but we only have a small boat for now and a bigger one on the way after we find the right tow vehicle.
What kind of mileage are you getting with this kind of weight behind you on long trips?
Pickuptrucks.com did a heavy towing road test on a pair of 4x2 XLT's with the 5.0L engine. They were towing enclosed trailers that weighed significantly more than your future boat and they both performed flawlessly through mountains, on flats and in high heat. I'd find the article for you but I'm tired and off to bed.
