What does your Shockwave weigh?

That's a good question but I would guess boat and trailer are 6500-7000? But hopefully I will need it to tow a Daytona.

I found a moving company who allowed me to drive on the scale, unhook my boat and get the weight without even charging me, it was pretty cool. I would bet your boat is at least as heavy as mine, Bobby lays those Shockwaves up solid.

I saw that you posted in another thread that they are going for 48K

and then I looked and saw that my same truck in the 2014 model is 65K

Maybe I will just stick with my paid for '06.

Here is another Buy It from a happy owner. I don't get 22 MPG but I didn't get that with my Diesel either. It has tons of power and a fabulous transmission. I tow a 22' Schiada and a 20' Ryaon Craft with it and couldn't be happier with it and it rides like a limo...

The platinum white is really nice in the "limited" here's that truck, 55k. Interesting is that the front license plate on all ecoboost models is off to the side on every front bumper.

Just a FYI....they do that because the plate in the middle would block the intercooler

You and my wife would be the only people in the world that could own a Prius and get 15 mpg...lol

I don't think a license plate is gonna help the lead foot
