Pics of your tow vehicle?

Next time just turn up the radio

I wish mine had a 6-71 Weiand haha.

They need to build a stripped down regular cab Ram with good suspension brakes and the 8 speed coupled to the Hellcat motor. Hell I would even be ok with the 485 HP 6.4 in that setup. Still tow stuff but run high 12's on sticky tires.

Scott,I'm curious,what do you get around town?

Nah, they all have these big pickup trucks and SUV's over there...
You have a Porsche and I have a Beamer... They can only dream about that luxury pulling a boat in the States

We rule the tow vehicle scene Graham! End of story


Just to prove a point, one more pic of a shiny BMW pulling a shiny SN 2001




Now post a picture of your Porsche pulling your boat, so we make everybody drool here

I never pretended to be a fair guy ya know...


If it's any consolation, I wouldn't mind owning a Ford F150 Raptor... Awesome piece of wheels.
Would look good too in front of the SN, and very exclusive in our part of the world

Thanks Graham!

I think I'm about the only one with a lowered vehicle on here towing a boat

I truly love that car. Did a few modifications:

- 342.000 km on the clock (212.509 Mi)
- DPF gutted
- Regeneration of the DPF deleted via software
- Swirl flaps removed from the intake manifold
- Reprogrammed to 177 BHP (versus the Belgian 162 BHP) and 500 NM torque
- Lowered with an Eibach Pro Kit in the front (and thru software in the rear)
- 15 mm spacers on the front axle, 20 mm spacers on the rear axle

Last month I let it loose on the German Autobahn (no speed limits!) and it still effortlessly goes up to 236 KPH (on GPS) 165 MPH).

A beast

Here's mine, as you can see boating season is still a ways off here in the Northeast

I havent a tow hitch sorted yet but will be sure to take a photo when its on. That BM is pure class!! [/QUOTE]

Graham nice find, facelift are hard to get not messed around with... school boy error not getting one with factory fit tow pack ... it’s not like the old landie bolt a hitch on a go...
my ML Merc as soon as I plug the hitch and power in the Suspensions/Level Control then sets to normal level based on the additional load at the rear
ESC/PSM operates in a towing mode and changes its stability strategy based on the fact that there is something at the back pushing the back of the car around.
May be worth looking into before go to far and just use the landie to tow.

BMW Wagon is sweet!

Stuff is coming pretty fast at 150+...

Oddly enough I don't think I've ever seen past 130-140 on four wheels but I've seen a good amount more on two.

MustangMadness - Double Z Snaps! Looking good.........!

Do I sense an accusation of me bying crap for my Beamer Graham...??
Do not worry, top noch spacers from Sparco, designed for the E61

Today's tow vehicle. Just got back from a Springfield to Chicago run. 240 miles, 10MPH tailwind, 12MPG. I am expecting my letter of appreciation from the oil industry for easing the oil glut. Funny thing is, I was told it isn't much better without a trailer.

I love my Raptor... not a diesel by any chance but the 6.2L works just fine.

I thought of you the whole way home, Alan. The car hauler with the 58 on it is 5,200# and the GC towed it effortlessly with the cruise on 70. The mileage with the boat was a bit under 12 and didn't surprise me, the real eye opener is that is about what it gets around town, and not that much better on the highway without a trailer. With the diesel that car would be a dream machine. Towing power when you need it, mileage when you don't. The diesel fuel cost differential is not that great either since this GC uses a minimum of mid grade gas.
The car is very nice. It has a rotary switch you can select a rock, a snowflake, squiggly lines, or a highway. and possibly other settings. The ride height changes when you do. It's odd that when you load the car on the trailer with the Jeep engine running, the height of the Jeep never changes.
A replacement 4WD has already been purchased by my nephew for everyday use but he is keeping this around to occasionally tow his TS6M I think. I don't think you can put a hitch on his new 4wd.

Heating oil season is over and we are drowning in a sea of oil inventories.
