So my Dad and I just went to the boat show in Minneapolis last weekend and were shopping around for some wakeboard boats. Well needless to say my Dad was in the buying mood and just bought me a brand new Tige RZ4 wake boat for my college graduation. Either way lets get down to the question I have, will I be able to tow this boat with my 2000 4dr? It weighs around 4,500lbs which seems to be a bit much for the ol' Blaze. My Dad has a truck that I know I could tow it with but I don't really wanna mess with getting his truck anytime I wanna tow. If anyone knows if this is possible let me know.
Heres a pic of the BOAT (

nice boat, but i believe that your truck weighs around the same as the boat. I wouldnt tow it with your truck.

Well for one I wouldn't tow it with your blaze unless your dad is still in the buying mood have him pay for a v8 conversion
then I would tow everything with it!!!

If you have your owners manual there should be a section on towing.
This info is for a 2003 Blazer, I don't have it for the 2000 model.
Four-Wheel Drive, Four Door Auto. Trans.
gear ratio
3.42
3.73
5,000 lbs. (2 768 kg)
Personally, I'd think about using another truck.
I use my full size Blazers for towing and only notice that I'm towing when I climb fairly steep hills.
BTW nice boat!

Dang, I dident know they were rated that high in towing... Yeah, I don't think I will attempting to test my blazer on the boat any time soon. thegr8, trust me, I think my Pops is just about spent out for the time being haha, I would sure love that V8 swap tho!!!
Chevy Lover, nice boat to you too! Your Sea Ray looks exactally like my Dad's 24' Chaparral, is yours a 24' or 26'?

It's a 24' Sea Ray. I also have a 16' Peterborough with an outboard that's good on gas.
