your boats with. In preparing to purchase a new boat I need to decide what type of truck to haul it with. I'm going to have to get ride of cars, can't really afford the cars, new boat and a truck, so I was thinking an Escalade or Navigator, are these sufficient enough to pull a 26-30' boat?

Imho. NO!
thats a heavy boat for that short wheel base and lack of braking power. but many do it. just ask yourself this, is the rest of your family riding in the tow vehicle with you?

2003 Chevrolet 2500HD DuraMax. Everything else is just a F.O.R.D.
my only complaint - brakes kinda suck on the 1/2 tons - other wise still pull my 21 and average 12mph towing

It's been an awesome tow vehicle.
Pulls my 4400lb boat like it's not even back there.
Pulls my 9000lb toyhauler (when loaded) nicely too.
No complaints.
I'd like to get a F-250/350 or something of that calibur but I need a nice vehichle for work reasons, and can't afford to get a truck and keep the nice car for work, so I need an Suv that can handle both.
