Tow vehicle picture thread!

[great white]

There's lots about tinnys and trailers on the site, I just thought we could use a thread for pics of what we tow them with. From 1 tons, to 1/2 tons, to thrown in the bed or on the roof, to mom and dads car; let's see em all!

I'll start it off with my rig:

1998 GMC Sierra k2500 eclb. 6.5 turbo diesel, 4x4, automatic, 4:10 gears. Pulls in 18-20 mpg unloaded and 10-13 pulling the trailer in the pics. Modifications are just waaaay to long to list. I'm into the whole thing (including purchase price and the new "optimizer" engine) for just a tick under 17 grand.

It a bit of a beast (not even close to stock, close to -but not quite- an early dmax for power) but as you can see by the trailer, it has to be!

I won't even notice the 12' springbok when I hook it up back there....

So, whatcha haulin' your tinny with?

2000 Land Rover Discovery II. Bought it from a friend for my Wife a couple months ago, but I've been out of the country since April, so I haven't seen it since we've owned it. I know it'll do a better job than my 300k mile Ford Ranger...

You guys have some nice trucks. I always liked the Land Rovers...I always thought they look sharp. I don't want to repost my pictures (want to save space on the site) so I am going to try posting a link...we will see if it works.

Well if you think a weiner looks like a set of boobs you might be playing for the wrong team if you know what I mean. :lol:

I use a Toyota Tacoma four wacker or my GF's V6 4Runner. I thought I had a picture somewhere but the only one I could find was of a bento lunch at the beach! I guess it will have to do.

here's mine

 

[C.U. Fishin]

This is my tow rig, '93 Volvo 940 Turbo wagon w/ factory tow pkg. 3300lb rating
Pulls my 14' semi-v without a problem.

We tow our 2010 14' Lund WC14 with a 2004 Honda Pilot 4WD, the rear suspension is upgraded to Timbren due to extra weight (camping gear,occupants,boat) .

Always liked a clean Volvo turbo wagon. I ran into a guy that had one set up for road racing. It supposedly had over 300 hp which I dont doubt. Looked awesome lowered with wider wheels. Man that sounds weird...

Mine isn't quite stock , I've thought about lowering it but because it's also my tow rig I decided not to.
300hp is quite doable, in fact another local Volvo guy has a 240 wagon with my exact type of engine swapped into it that he has built to well over 300. He does the 1/4mi in the 11's.
I've had mine out to the track a couple times, best runs are in the low 14's....good enough to surprise/embarrass a lot of guys in Mustang GT's and almost every kid in a Honda 8)

 

[SVOMike86]

Gotta love a turbo car. I used to have a 4cyl turbo Mustang that ran 12's. A lot of guys were putting the DOHC volvo head on the 2.3l ford block. Hard mod, but apparently worth it. Cant wait to get back into it. I think my "baby hauler" (when I have kids) is gonna be a WRX wagon, it should be able to tow the boat also

Just remember that not all Honda's are slow. :wink:

I do dig the sleeper station wagon. My favorite is the Scooby (WRX). They're not that sleeper looking even stock, but they sure can move out with the AWD+Turbo!

I never hesitate to race a so called "performance" stang ... :lol: with our SUV, and you know what most times i see the stangs or srt's in my rear view mirror .

I'm more interested in the 4 wheeler on the trailer. Whatcha got? Specs?


Had dreams of turning mine into this.



However it does just fine with the right tires. Yep, that is the mud line on the door.
