We all pretty well know that each of us have an American Skier (or are in the process of finding one) but Im curious what you all pull your boats with.
Currently Im in a 97 Jeep Wrangler. Will never get out of my Jeep I dont think, but I am looking for either a 80 through 85 stepside Ford or a 93 through 95 first generation Ford Lightning.

Well, I have a Honda Ridgeline. It has a 5k tow capacity rides nice, plenty of power for towing both the American Skier and my Outback. Not a truck I would recommend for working around the farm but all the truck I need and makes for a great daily driver with it's 4 wheel independent suspension.

06 Jeep Commander Limited. Rides nicer than most jeeps, pulls easy enough with a small block V8, traction control, tow/haul, parking assist, GREAT interior, sunroof (front) with two moonroofs (rear), four doors w/three row seating (back row is for small children only), DVD system, etc, and one of the best stock stereo systems I've ever heard...
A Ford Lightning is more for drag racing!!! 8)

99 S10 Chevy 2WD. Love the truck and the economy but it sucks at pulling out of the water. Want something small but powerful, like me.

Massey Ferguson Work Bull 202 4 cylinder gas, downdraft carb, pulls up to tripple axle 40' Fountains, hitch welded to rear box blade & another bolted to the front bucket. (which is handy when needing to elevate the tongue 6 ft. to drain a bilge. Up to 12 mph.

Sledhead, nice truck! I grew up a chevy guy, but I keep ending up with fords. Even my boat is! Right now i'm pulling my AS with an 04 F150 4x4. Its a piece of cake pulling it out of my lake (which doesnt have a ramp) and drives smooth on the road. I hope my F 150 is still running good at 188k
-
I'm pulling my 83' AS with a 02' F150 4X4 with 192,000+. I had the boat completely redone this summer, new everything basically! I hope the truck makes it while my wallet recovers. My boat guru saw me as his stimulus plan!!!!!! The new tranny has a water-cooled driveshaft. It did not have one in 83' but it does now.
