Towing Vehicle for 07 Mobius XLV ?
Hello Forum, I am new to the forum and also a soon to be new Mobius XLV owner with the 340 engine. Now that I've ordered this boat which is due in Feb. I now need a new vehicle to tow it with. My wife will not stand for a pickup truck and will not drive the bigger SUV's i.e. Suburban. So I am look at the following. A Dodge 4x4 Durango with the 5.7 liter HEMI V8 which will tow 7250 lbs. or the Toyota Sequoia 4x4 with a 4.7 leter V8 and it will tow 6200 lbs. My fear is that the boat and trailer are 4700 lbs empty. Add five people to ride in the vehicle at say 200 lbs each for 1000 lbs. which brings us to 5700 lbs. and the Toyota is only rated at 6200 lbs. Then add in gas and other boating equipment which could bring it up to the liimits of these two vehicles.
The bottom line is will either of the above vehicle tow the Mobius safely or what vehicle would you recommend I look at.
Thanks Richard
