I have fished the FLW Kingfish tour the last two years. The boat goes around 12,000 lbs. I use a F250 4wd desiel. Have had no problems with the truck towing the boat at 65 to 75 MPH on the open road. MPG is not very good, around 12 - 13 MPG at those speeds. I like Fords as they have given me good servise and no problems. Thats just me.
