Anyone tow a bass boat with their Raptor?

Nice boats, guys. I'm gonna practice in an empty parking lot by my house. I gotta figure out how to back it into my driveway. there is a rock wall opposite the street that might give me issues.

a good way that i learned was if you were to hold the steering wheel at the bottom then whichever way you turned the wheel is the direction the trailer will go.

Take this advice from a retired trucker, whenever backing up a trailer slower is better. Always!

What kind of hitch would I need to to tow my bass boat? And where can I get it?

did you get the tow package with the truck?

Also takes longer to stop when a trailer is pushing you. Get used to using the side mirrors for backing.

Agree with practicing before getting to the ramp, where there are often others pressuring you to move quickly.

also, the trailer brake controller is if your trailer has electric brakes. it pretty much can be adjusted to apply the same amount of pressure as you are applying to the truck

Couple weeks ago I pulled my 5700# H3 on an 18 foot car hauler. Towed it like a dream. 300+ miles from the U.P. to Detroit. Stayed at about 70 mph, pulled 10 - 10.5 mpgs.

Trailer brake is awesome. If your trailer has brakes I highly reccommend using it. I am very impressed with this truck.

I am super happy with this truck when it comes to towing
