I am currently putting together a TD Syncro to pull my boat.. I have no
doubt it will do it... right now I am pulling my boat which is a commercial
barge (boat motor and trailer weigh 2200 pounds) with my 85 1.9 with a
pretty mikeymouse hitch... I am in Florida on level ground and the ramp is
close by... but I must say that the van has launched and removed the boat
with zero strain  and no problems thus far... I have one of the Haynes
costom hitches for the syscro and a custom aluminum and stainless trailor
with bronze disc brakes and torsion bars to make things easier for the
driver and whatever is towing it...


I have heard a lot about these vans not being up to the job but from my
experiance the speculation does not square with the performance I have
witnessed thus far
