    Trailblazer for Tow Vehicle?

    You may want to double check that. The 4.2 liter was rated at 5100# That was with the 3.73:1 axles The 5.3 was rated about 5300# A standard 4.3 liter S10 blazer was about the same, a little more with the right gearing and load D tires In either case, I agree with Bruce. Not sure I would...

    2014 Crownline 330 CR - Stern Drive & Prop

    Your boat needs more torque to get the over 9 tons up on plane. Your wet weight is just over 18000# (assuming you do not have the coolers full of beer and ice, and you have no passengers) Stock 350s are a fine motor, but your boat should have 502s at a minimum, or diesels to get it up on...

    Mr & Mrs Claus go camping

    its normally under the cover in the back yard. we have about a dozen or so sites we hit. most RV sites in Florida are 2 weeks max in a spot. plus you must be booked 12 months out for the state parks and 6 months out for most county parks.

    Trailblazer for Tow Vehicle?

    because that would have cost GM money and statistically most people who own SUV's do not tow anything. Just like most 4x4's or AWD's never climb anything more than a curb to a back-yard party.
