I helped my neighbor put his boat in for the season this weekend. First real towing I have done with my 1/2 ton.
No bent frame
although i was a little worried about the boat ramp, as I am 2 wheel drive. We even joked on the ride over that my truck can't help him out of the water. I got off the ramp fine pulling just the trailer, but he does have a 23 foot cabin cruiser. . . .I really doubt I could pull it and the trailer out of the water in 2wd
