What truck do I need to tow a Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW?
A loaded Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW (aluminum bass boat) weighs about 2,520 lb on its trailer by our conservative math, with a tongue weight of about 252–378 lb.
| Published average package (boat + motor + trailer), Tracker | 2,235 lb |
| Fuel: 21.5 gal x 6.1 lb | 131 lb |
| Gear allowance: 10% of boat + 90 HP engine + fuel | 154 lb |
| Estimated loaded trailer weight | 2,520 lb |
We also computed boat (1,050 lb) + heaviest 90 HP-class engine (362 lb) + estimated trailer (500 lb) and kept whichever total was higher.

Confirm with your door-jamb sticker and owner's manual. Your exact truck's rating depends on cab, bed, drive, axle ratio, options and tires, and your boat's real weight depends on its engine, options, fuel and gear. When in doubt, weigh the rig at a CAT scale.
Gear you may need
Placeholder links (not affiliate links yet). Disclosure.
Trailer brake controller
Boat trailers over about 3,000 lb usually need working trailer brakes (check your state's law); an electric-over-hydraulic or electric setup needs a controller in the truck.
Class IV receiver hitch & ball mount
Match the ball mount drop to your trailer so the boat rides level; the hitch rating must cover the full loaded trailer.
