Made and assembled two different things. But I back toyota all the way.

Ok. So there are tons of recommendations. Let me ask a more fundamental question since I dont know squat about trucks. Yes, I am researching but its kinda like - I dont know what question to ask.

What equipment is needed on a truck to tow a small boat? By small, I mean something like this. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/boa/5861753200.html

I was looking at Ford's website and they have so many options its overwhelming! Transmission cooling systems, break connections, and a million other things that simply went over my software engineering head.

I want to buy a boat, get it to the launch, and get some damn fish on deck. All this complexity is frustrating. LOL

You'd probably want a 1/2 ton with class 3 hitch, for that striper. I got a 3.5L F150 ecoboost, so far so good. V6 twin turbo tows more than my previous V8 5.4L I am sure the 2.7L would be fine for that striper. I heard good stuff about the Ram 1500 eco diesel too.
