Previous discussions about towing have focused on towing the R22 over significant distances and with boats that are loaded with gear.

I only tow my boat about 5 miles twice a year - to the nearby ramp and back. I dock the boat at my house so I don't need to load it down with stuff.

Currently I am using a Honda Pilot which handles the boat easily but it is now 16 years old and is coming up for replacement. I am reluctant to get more vehicle than I need and am wondering what experience those on the list with vehicles that have a 3500 lb towing capacity.

Any thoughts are welcome.
