Do you think...

A 1987 Bronco II with 3:73s a FM145 and a class 3 hitch will be up for towing a 19ft fiberglass boat? I't not more than 3 miles to the ramp so it wouldn't be far.

Just curious...

Yeah. I pulled my 15 ft fiberglass everywhere with my 87 Ranger 2wd 2.9/5sp

Should be alright on that short of a trip. Some 18-19 footers can be pretty heavy... If it's got a real deep hull, Id bet it could be a pain after 20+ miles. Bass boat or ski boat should be fine to tow a distance.

I have a 16" switzer I pull behind my truck a bit. Heavier fiberglass boat. With the trailer brakes I can pull the thing all day. (Reg. cab, short bed, 2.3 5spd)

pull a 17' deep v hull fish boat 45-50 miles every couple weekend during the summer the 2.9 5spd, did okay then thur in the 4.0 auto and did a test run... holly_____ now were cookin with grease.... now she gets it done... will try to show you a burnout picture and the boat hooked up sometime.... should be good to go..

373 and a manual tranny give a 6000 gcw on a ranger, got that right outta my manual. So if your b2 weighs 4000, u can tow 2000

That 4000 lbs is the truck, you in the seat & your girl or buddy, gas, oil, crap in bed, hitch, 2 inches of mud stuck to frame, etc, and you can tow 2000 lbs. If you are a large gent as I am add 250 to truck and subtract from trailer, plus girl friend or buddy (may be best to take girl friend, cause your buddy will cost more wieght), 300lbs of crap in the bed, etc. So now your down to 1500 lbs or less total trailer capacity............. Not a nice picture.

A 4x4 B2 weighs 3,400# curb. It's already got a bunch of stuff in to get to 4,000#.

Hook up, tow it, never look back (except at the good times).
