Thank you all so much for great ideas.
I am running some numbers here
A good used TT - around 10-15K, something probably under 25ft
A good used truck, around 20-25K (tacoma or f150)
Now a good used C-class would probably run me 40-50K, am I right on that?
I found a decent older 18 ft TT on CL for $3200 then spent close to $800 on setup and upgrades. It's dry weight is 3400lbs so I can tow it with my Tacoma. It took me 5 months watching CL almost daily to find it. Most of the trailers in the price range that I looked at had dry rot and/or other problems.
If I was buying a vehicle specifically to tow a trailer, I'd get something with a V8, not a Tacoma. My Tacoma can handle the trailer fine, but it's not as ideal as something with a larger engine.
If your trailer is light enough, your tow vehicle doesn't necessarily have to be a truck.
