I'm considering rigging up my 2000 Ford Explorer to tow a friend's older 17' Alumaweld style driftboat. The vehicle specs indicate that I can attach directly to the bumper and be well within limits. What has been your experience?
In the past I had a 3/4 ton Chevy 4X4 to do the job, but it met an untimely end in an accident.

Also, does anyone have any wiring tips or know where I can get a good kit?

Thanks in advance for any insight.
