You can install a hitch ON THE FRONT of the truck. When you get to the ramp switch to the front tow hitch, keeping your drive tires on dry, slime free surface, OR put on a tongue extension or use a "come along" (block and tackle) hooked to the truck and the trailer, to leave the truck high and dry. -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+atrometer=gmail.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+atrometer=gmail.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Johnston Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2012 6:45 AM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: Towing Vehicle Question I am a new owner of a M15 and have not yet launched her (Michigan). My tow vehicle is a Chevrolet full-size pick up which is only two wheel drive. I am having some worries as I look at my various lake launch ramps, some of which are rather steep. These trucks are nortoriously light in the rear end and I am concerned as to whether I may find myself sitting and spinning at launch and retrieve time. I cannot afford a 4WD truck and thus am wondering what options other use (other than a tow truck) to launch and retrieve their Monty's if they are in my same shoes tow vehicle wise. My trailer does have a short (3-4 foot) tongue extension. Thanks. *Jeff+* Molōn labe!
