I think I may have the highest hp truck for towing my sleds. Last week I pulled over 600 at the rear wheels on the dyno with the ol' cummins. lol Not bad for a everyday driver with 120,000. Now thats a motor. ;)!
 

Them cummins are bad..I'm actually a Ford guy with a Chevy truck,... but I like the diesel saying... I'd Rather be cummin then strokin. Not dura-max jokes?

LOL All these big trucks for 1500 pounds :) I use my 2004 Subaru WRX STI for mine..300hp/tq, awd you don't even know she's back there. I'll get a pict this winter
 
It just makes feel good that I can tow my house down the road if I wanted too, But yeah, a little overkill....seeing as though I don't even have to drive anymore just sit there in the passanger and wait. You can get a good nap in after TONY'S too.
 
mine is 1998 gmc k1500 4x4 extened cab long box 5.0l. mild suspension work for 2" lift. auburn locker in the rear. baer rotors on the front. kn fipik intake with a tornado and oversize mass airflow. flomaster exh. super chips tuned for optimal 87 octane. deezee tunnauu cover. kickin pioneer stero with 2 10" phoinix gold subs and amp. still runnin stock rubber size bridgestone duler at revos (they suck in snow). she at 158,000 km and still goin strong.

hauls everything i put in the box and behind it including a 3406b cat once (transport desil motor).
 
My Yamahauler is 2004 Chevy DuraMax with a 6" suspension lift. This pic shows how deep the snow was last year January 5th in New Mexico. We are in a bad dry spell over here with no snow on the ground yet.
 
This is what I tow my sled with. ;)! And yes it's got a HEMI!!! :WayCool:

As you could guess by my name, I tow with a 1994 Dodge CARAVAN 3.3L V6
And it may be the lowest Horsepower vehicle used to tow sleds. LOL!!!
14 MPG with a two place trailer no cover. 10 with a covered trailer.
The best part is without the trailer it gets 26 MPG.
170K miles now. I never got it stuck in the snow.
 
99 dodge ram 5" lift 35", tires, magnaflow cat no mufflers ,mild cam, dana 44 front and dana 60 rear 4:56 for the future 38"s and another 3 in lift and whole bunch of other things that could take for ever to list
