Default Platinum 4x4 towing a 34' SeeVee boat.

*Not my setup but goes to show proper trailer setup is crucial to managing a load. I don't think this truck has the max tow package due to the regular mirrors.

Guy said the EcoBoost pulled the boat right out of the ramp and got it on the road just fine.

actually I'm pretty sure you couldn't get a Platinum with 3.73 gears without upgrading to the max tow package and getting the big mirrors. I think that truck has to have 3.55's or 3.31's.

SeaVee 340 Outboard Open weighs 6,500 dry without motors. This appears to be that model. Don't know about that trailer, but 3 axles says "heavy".

Fuel capacity is 327 gallons; fresh water is 50 gallons. Length is 34'9"; beam 10'.

Whole lotta cash sitting there, for sure. Didn't even look. Guessing it's just a bit more than the tractor pulling it.

Don't see anything - ever - like that in high-desert Idaho.
