Trailer Boats' 2010 Tow Vehicle o' the Year: Ram 1500
Try saying "tow boat" five times. Frustrating, huh? But if you own a Ram 1500, towing a boat is easier done than said.
Just ask Trailer Boats magazine, which it has chosen the Ram 1500 as its 2010 Tow Vehicle of the Year. Jim Hendricks, publisher and editorial director of Trailer Boats magazine, said the editors focused on light-duty pickups this year with a tow vehicle competition that included a trio of 2010 half-ton pickups with crew-size cabs and the largest available gasoline engines, all in four-wheel-drive configurations. Each truck towed the same Mako 234 Center Console boat and trailer weighing about 6,000 pounds.
“The ride, handling and braking of the Ram 1500 – in both towing and non-towing situations – scored highest among the competitors,” Hendricks said.
The test results are detailed in the April 2010 issue of Trailer Boats (on sale now), with coverage going live online at TrailerBoats.com - Online Articles for the Boating and Watersports Enthusiast on April 5.
