I have a 2022 Chevy Silverado High Country 1/2 ton w/ 6.2L V8 gas engine w/ air bags. The boat I'm looking at is 4900lbs dry w/o engines. Twin 200's at 525 lbs each. Fuel weight would be about 800lbs with a full tank. I'd assume loaded with gear would at up to 1000lbs.

Boat/Engines 6000 lbs
Fuel 800lbs
Gear 1000 lbs
Trailer 1200 lbs

This puts it at 9000 lbs loaded and full of fuel. If you only had to tow it 1-2x's a year but when you towed it you'd have to tow it from Pensacola to St. Amant, LA so not towed often but when you do have to tow it it's not a short trip. Truck towing capacity says 9100 lbs on the door. Question is would you tow it or should I buy a new truck? Love my truck and hate to give up the daily ride of my 1/2 ton but I really want the twin engines. What say the OB?
