My two cents: I drive a used, 2000 Hyundai Elantra with an off-the-
shelf hitch. With over 70,000 miles, the "Grey Goose" with a little
four banger, front wheel drive and relative light weight has no
trouble launching, retrieving and pulling "Rejoyce" at all. Last week
we pulled her for bottom painting, and I sat in the cockpit as she
went up the ramp. The exhaust sound indicated minimal power needed,
and my friend driving her said she pulled up the relatively steep
ramp with ease. In my less-than-humble opinion, it has more to do
with the ramp's surface and condition, with the driver's mind set a
close second. I do not want a new Tundra with a jillion horses under
the hood, room for eight adults and a month's worth of groceries and
building supplies. But I could probably justify it if I really did
want that. Or a Hummer! I just put my bucks into my treasured little
M15. (Where can I mount a radar with a hundred mile range?) CheersI
