I tow my yamaha ar190 with the wife and 4 kids and 2 of them are 180 pounds with no problem. It does squat a little but pulls it confidently. In fact it pulls better than my jeep gladiator ecodiesel did. The ecodiesel would overheat in summer if I went above 70mph.

Added bumpers, sliders and lights to my basesquatch. I've jade it 6 days and love it. I don't have the aux package so I will probably go with the switch pro for the lighting. I'm normally not a big rough country guy but couldn't argue with the price. Honestly these are just as nice as my...
