Hey gang - so the wife and I should be taking delivery of our new 2013 model 190 Sport here in the next couple of weeks. For the last two years, we have been trailering a 1990 180 BR with our Explorer Sport Trac ( 2010 model), 2WD, and it has handled it without really breaking a sweat. The new 190 Sport lists dry weight of 2600 lbs, however with trailer it shows it dry as like 3600 lbs.
The truck is rated for like 5000 lbs, however with a class II towbar it states 3500 lbs. With a Class III it states 5000 lbs.
I am thinking maybe I should take the truck in somewhere and have a Class III towbar installed? I am assuming that is something that can be done. Or maybe I should just wait and see how it does with the boat, and not worry with it much as I imagine weights between this old 180 BR and the new 190 Sport are probably fairly close to each other?
Just curious what others might think?
Thanks for any tips!
