I tow my Bass boat with out any problems.


I tow my 18' camper with a Hayden 404 Trans Cooler, E Brakes & a tow sway bar. I can do 65 mph with the over drive off most of the time! My gas MPG stinks when towing I get about 7-8 MPG.. I do have 4.10..

Kind of funny that Tracker is exactly what I am looking for. Seeing how your outboard is larger than the standard 90hp that comes with the pro team 190, I feel confidant a JKU will do just fine.

Thanks for the nice pics!

Have towed a 6X12 trailer with my small bobcat on it. Total weight around 3,000 lbs. towed good on flat, Hills around here tend to drag the jeep down quick.

I tow my Jayco tent trailer 10' box. Weighs in at about 1690 lbs plus loading it up it likely is at 2500+ lbs. Tows fine, gas milage is affected but put a ton of weight behind anything and you'll notice it.

Just wondering if anyone tows anything similar...

Thanks all!
I have a 19 ft boat that I tow with no problem. I get 13 to 14 MPG.

@Funatic- Nice setup! How much does your boat + trailer weigh in at? Do you have a manual or auto? Thanks
