What trucks to pull my boat?

[TRUMP TIGHT]

Well its time to get a new truck! After riding in the back of my 04 ranger all the way back from Bullhead i have decided i need a bigger truck. I have a 6 month old so i need some room and my ranger cant pull my boat. Im looking at new, full size, maybe crew but definitly ext cab and i need some input on v6 vs. v8. Of course i want the v8 but cant i get away with pulling an 18ft spectra with a v6?

Get the V8, you will get better gas milage towing with the v8 since it won't have to work so hard to pull your boat, less stress on the motor as well. With your kid being so small, you can save by just getting an extra cab, my kids are 7 and 6 and are still confortable in my Silverado extra cab.

Take your boat loaded with all your gear and fuel to some truck scales, unhook it from your truck, pay the 12 or so bucks to get the weight and add 20% then take that information shopping with you.

Any 1/2 pick up will do fine. or even a half ton suv. A F-150 or chevy/ dodge 1500 would do nicely. You can get them with 4 doors... just make sure you get the "tow package" its not just a hitch.

I have had an ext cab silverado and i do think it is enough room but i think im gonna try and swing it to get the crew. Prblem is im not sure i will really need it. As for the towing my boat is stored in Bullhead and its about a mile to Davis. I dont think i would be dropding anywhere else very often and service will all be done local by SquirtnThunder.
