The subject of hauling, towing, vehicles, especially what is the best tow vehicle is like talking about women... Everyone has their own feelings about what works best for them.
Over fifty years ago I learned that a 1/2 ton pickup is fine for carrying golf clubs, a couple of potted plants from the nursery, etc.
I could write a very lengthy book about all of the friends, neighbors, relatives, etc., that have asked my for my opinion as to what would be the best vehicle to purchase for an RV that they were thinking about buying, Almost without exception, within a matter of weeks, maybe months I noted my neighbor, etc. driving a shiny new pickup with a huge camper, or travel trailer, with the back bumper dragging the ground.
One neighbor bought a Ford F150, a week later he bought a 12' self contained camper, (I could not believe that the dealer installed that big of a camper on a F150} A couple of days later I heard a loud noise out in the street.. The neighbors outfit was stuck in the dip in the intersection, hung up by the dragging rear bumper.
When I questioned my neighbor about the truck he bought, it was all about price and the salesman told him the truck was a camper special, so there would be no problem. Da!
As I said in my previous comments, my tow vehicle is a 2001 Ford F350 Super Duty 7.3 diesel, it has 164K on the odometer. The truck is not a daily driver, I generally only use it to haul one of my trailers, an enclosed 25ft 12,000.lb GVW or a 20ft 8,k GVW flat trailer.
