RI Hummer is off the scale
Default

It is the hitch that is the weak link. My GMC 2500 Sierra would tow my dump trailer even when it was loaded to 11,000 lbs but I had to reinforce the frame to hitch in order to accomplish this. The Hummer could be reinforced in the same way. You would need to add plates above and below the rear frame, open the bumper a little and install a vertical plate to accept a Combination ball and pintle hitch. Other truck towing ratings advertised could also be for a fifth wheel setup on a pickup and not an SUV.

Nice Hummer and boat, that is the best flame paint job. The Discovery Channel exposure is treating you well if you are upping the boat size!
