[Tigers] Towing a Tiger

[awtiger at cox.net]

Steve:

You failed to mention over what kind of terrain you'd be towing the trailer and Tiger.  That's an important piece of info.

I'll echo a couple of the guys who have answered already...if you get an F-250 Powerstroke Diesel, you'll never even know the trailer is back there.  I've towed my Tiger with a 4.0L Ranger V6, a Ford F-150 with a 5.4L V8 and an '04 Ford F-250 Powerstroke Diesel.  THERE IS NO COMPARISON...THE DIESEL WILL PULL A HOUSE DOWN IF NECESSARY!!!!  My wife and I just got back from SUNI today and, other than catching a rock in the windshield on my F-250, we had an uneventful trip.  I can't even imagine trying that in my old F-150 and there's no way in hell I'd EVER try that with a V6 Ranger.  

The bottom line is don't waste your money on a tow vehicle that is "marginal."  Get a diesel F-250 and you'll never be sorry.
