Tandem towing
My problem...I love to duck hunt and travel to AR ( about 600 miles one way ) several times a year. I need a boat and a UTV to hunt. In the past, I have only pulled one. I have a 2013 F350 6.2l V8 with 4.30 gears. Would it be possible to pull these in tandem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I guess a small boat and single axle utility trailer with no brakes on either...this might be your problem. And from what I heard tandems like that are not legal in some states. Your vehicle is just fine.
I've never done this but have seen a few times on the road, boat behind campers. But those campers were all 5th wheel.

It's not about having brakes.
Whether tandem bumper towing like this is legal or not your best bet would be to check with the states. I know that some states will limit you to 65', some will require special permit, some will not allow at all...
Post more info on your trailers and states you are going to be driving in. This will get you more responses. Some local folks might chime in.
I'd say at least working brakes on first trailer and sway control on both. You will be concerned about being able to stop safely, not pull.

what a dum-dum .... he loaded his boat backwards ....
if he'd turn the boat around, he could launch the boat without having to take it down from its perch......
just gotta back down the ramp a little further, that's all ....
