Looking for a Flat tow truck

I have a 2002 Damon Intruder 375 with a Ford V10. I am looking to start flat towing and am in the market for a pickup truck that will serve this purpose as well as meeting the needs as my everyday driver. I'm thinking a midsize truck. Any thoughts on vehicle and tow bar setup? Not real sure what my towing capacity is or where to find it.

Thanks, Todd
Class A

    Well Todd, this is an often posted question. Are you an FMCA member? If yes, they provide a yearly toad publication listing all that can be towed 4-down. If not, then I suggest you go to www.remcoindustries.com/Towing/ and insert different brands that you might be interested in.

    As far as tow bars, the four major brands are Roadmast, Demco, Blue-Ox, and Readybrute. In addition to the tow bar, you'll also need a base plate for the truck, light kit, and auxiliary braking system.

    Good luck

    Be careful many gas MH's have a 4K to 5K towing limit which would rule out most pickups.
