I just bought a 20 footer bass boat.

I am planning get a 2016 Toyota Tacoma to tow it. The new Tacoma towing capacity is 6800 LB.

What do you think? Can be done fairly easy?

Thanks.

nice!!Willy!.. You shouldn't have a problem on the highway.Ken,my father in law,always uses 4wd when he pulls his boat out from the ramp at the Q .That makes things allot easier.His boat is much heavier than mine.I don't know If your new rig has 4wd,but that seems to help... Merry Christmas dude!!`hehe

Get the towing package if it is offered. Not sure what it includes on that make, but it's usually tranny cooler, oil cooler, and pre rigged for trailer lights/brakes. Helps in the long run.

20 footer, sounds like you aren't fooling around! Good luck and enjoy!

The Tacoma 4X4 V6 Sports Edition comes with the towing package.

No s***, I bought my dream boat. I dreamed about it ever since I started fish hobby.

. Go with a v8 vehicle to tow a 20 footer , the gas mileage in tow is virtually the same and the extra power is needed and nice to have .

The two (8 inch bow, 10 inch console) Onix SI touch screen are networked. I also bought an addition Onix 10 CI dedicate standalone just for the 360. I will ram mount on the bow. I got the transducer. The main unit is on the way should be here next week.

Umm we could use a jealous button on this one so I can repeatedly hit it everytime I see this. Congrats on making a dream reality!

Looks good Willy! Are you waiting until spring or going to launch her in December?

Posted Sun Dec 06, 2015 12:33 pm

I'm done this year. The boat is all shrink wrapped and winterized.

you had the boat shrink wrapped, Do you have a garage? Letting such a beautiful boat sit outside would be a shame ,even if it's shrink wrapped. Also the boat is all white so when u start using it make sure u wipe and rinse it down below the water line after every outing because the boat will become stained from the lake water .
