06 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S with my own custom tweekeings......750hp, 775tq should be able to pull a couple selds.

Wow. That will get ya to the trails fast. I sold my f150 and bought a 08 F250 diesel. My brother owns a performance shop, so we did some tweaking as well.
648hp 1377tq at 54lbs of boost.

 
Here's what I put together for longer haul highway trips. A "homemade" Mercury Marauder/P71 Police Interceptor. It started out as a family members 2000 Grand Marquis with only 30,000 miles on it.

Some changes:

-4.6 PI engine...intake/heads/cams ect
-high output alternator
-Steeda under drive pulleys
-P71 Police Interceptor ECU to elliminate speed limiter and give higher shift RPMs[5550]also further adjusted ignition timing ect with "Super chips" programmer
-new 4r75w trans with 2004 Marauder Torque Convertor + "J" mods
-forced lube tail shaft
-Marauder intake system
-larger Aviator throttle body
-throttle body spacer
-ported plenum
-4" aluminum driveshaft with safety hoop
-3.55 gears/posi
-Addco sway bars
-P71 springs [front + back]
-Bilstein shocks
-18" wheels with 245/55/18 BFG Comp TA tires
-dual exhaust with high flow mufflers + cats
-P-71 engine oil cooler
-window tint
-front + rear spoilers
-digital tach with shift light
-class III trailer hitch

Sideshowbob, that name sounds vaguely familiar. I have a difficult time believing, with that many mods, that you aren't on CVN. I'm Crownvicman289 on there.

More on topic, I do all my sled "towing" with the 6.5' bed of my 1/2 ton GMC.

I am not a member of CVN but I have searched their tech articals...every time I try to join it never activates my profile???
 
Sometimes it's tough to decide. 01 Chevy 2500HD with the Allison and 8.1 or the 04 2500HD with the Allison and Duramax. Usually the Duramax though.

2001 Subaru Impreza RS

I have the same car except a 2 door...I even have the same aftermarket rims...no trailer hitch though.
Prodrive P1's or Rota Tarmacs? Those are the Tarmacs and there's not a whole hell of a lot left on that car that was factory, she's nearly 11years old and popped the motor about 6 1/2 years ago now. I do miss the torque the 2.5 had when towing but I've got more than enough HP to move the sleds around ;)

Not much left stock on mine either...I just had a new 2.5 engine installed last month at SSI Subaru in Traverse City Mi. Mine also has a Borla header, Ispeed ECU, high flow cat and stainless cat back exhaust just to name a few changes.
