Howdy. Wife and I have over a year to retirement, and we plan to buy DP but still shopping, and will be part-timers. Part of my mission necessitates me buying a new 4x4 truck now, prior to making the decision regarding the DP. I am settling on the 4x4 Tacoma, which has a gross weight of about 5300lbs. It appears I will need a dolly to tow, so that would increase towing weight by some factor. My question is, will a toad of that weight and size limit my choices on the DP? We are thinking about 34-36' range on the MH. Any guesses on engine size to handle the load? I understand the coach has to be rated to handle the weight of the load, is this weight reasonable?
Thanks friends.

Try and get at least the 8.3 cummings 350HP or more,suggest u will need a drive shaft disconnect to tow 4x4 tacoma with dolly.I would strongly suggest the chev coloarado as no mods to tow 4 down and tow dollys are a pain in the arse if needing small 4x4 pick up..A 36FT DP with at least 330-350 HP will easily pull a small PU 4X4
