Couple of things when towing your bass boat. first off your truck will probubly not even know its back there. Bass boats are VERY light. So the reality is you won't need to use your Tow/Haul button when towing it. Now if you are going to do alot of stop and go and big hills when towing it use the tow/haul feature. If you are going to do alot of flat highway towing dont worry about the tow/haul it will be useless and will do nothing more than burn more gas. Over time you will learn when its best to use it and when its just annoying.

Sounds like you are new to boating as well?? Make sure you find a good experienced boating buddy to take with you the first couple times out.

Find an empty parking lot and practice backing your trailer. Use cones and learn how to fit it in tight spots and challenge your self so you get used to it. Trust me on this..... The first time you roll into a gas station it might be so packed with cars that you may have to have some skills to maneuver it.

Also when towing your trailer adjust your outside mirrors so that all you see on your H2 is the rear marker on the side of the truck. Then move the mirrors down so that you can just see where the trailer tires make contact with the ground this should give you the best visibility. The mirrors on the
H2 suck for trailering as they are not as big as other trucks.

Also if you have a rear spare tire carrier, you might want to consider mounting your tire on top or inside of your truck and getting rid of the rear carrier b/c you wont be able to get your tail gate open while attached to a trailer and that just sucks.

I know it seems stupid but really to hit on these very basic things but....If you have never trailered anything before you will find this somewhat helpful.

I have the same issue, My 6" drop worked pretty well but my trailer was just a bit tilted up. But not very much at all. I purchased the 6" drop from Tractor supply. Most auto parts to not carry a 6"+ drop I tried them all, Advance, autozone, napa, walmart, orielly etc..... none of them carried any more than a
4" drop.

But I have since lifted the truck. Gettinig the boat hooked up is a major PITA. I have to get the ball lined up right next to the hitch of the trailer then turn the H2 off to shut down the compressor, stand on the back bumper and lift up on the safety chains on the trailer as hard as I can to get the truck to squat enough to get the trailer hitch over the ball. Now I need to find a 8" drop and that is going to be a chore without spending a mint.

Happy boating!
