Toy hauler on a gasser?

Fiver or TT? We pull a fiver with max load of just under 12,000. We are out in the mountains and spend some time at 45mph on steep inclines. But it tows great as we have it set up.

You'll notice the need for a diesel on the mountain grades. Staying in Mich you shouldn't have any issues towing with a gasser.

We live and do most of our RVing here in the mountain west and four corner states, we have a 33' TT toyhauler that comes in at 10K# when fully loaded with toys and water. Our 3/4 ton Chevy Silverado 4x4 gets us everywhere we need to go, which is primarily high elevation camping.

Yeah, it revs up pretty good to get over some of the steep inclines, and yeah it can get quite thirsty doing so, but it is dedicated to hauling our rig around and just sits in the garage awaiting duty otherwise, works great for our situation. She loves to work and has always delivered.

You need to choose a toy hauler first then get a truck with capacity to tow it. You want a truck with extra capacity instead of getting something that is nearly maxed out.

Gassers will do fine as long as you're not close to maximum tow/cargo capacity.

I towed a 15,000 lb 5th wheel for years with a 1986 chevy gas 1 ton dual cc long bed with no major problems. On a 6% grade I would climb in first gear at 25MPH. Today's gassers have a lot more power than my 1986 truck did.
