Just purchased a 42ft pusher & would like to know what the full timers like to tow. A small vehicle vs a larger one. We are considering a Ford 150 super cab (2013 that's towable) Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Congrats on the new pusher! You will want to check your towing capacity as not all 42 ft. coaches can tow the same amount.
This is just my opinion, but I like towing the lightest vehicle that fits my needs which is the 5 passenger, AWD, CR-V. It's peppy, gets good fuel mileage and easy to park in smaller parking lots.
The heavier vehicle that you pick will make you a little slower on hills. Since you mentioned 'full-time' (I'm assuming that you are going to full time), you will probably bring more cargo than the weekender RV'er. Keep that in mind when picking your tow vehicle.
A big truck might be a good fit for your lifestyle, you have lots of choices!
Safe travels,
