So I feel stuck between not quite enough of a tow vehicle and under powered in the Pilot, but almost too much truck in a Tundra/F150. (too much being a waste of money, mpg, etc when it's not towing).
Just curious what some more experienced towers think about the situation.
Just about everyone that is looking at a RV trailer to pull goes through this regardless of the trailers size (5k or a 10k or a 20k or 25k lbs).
You know about the Pilot so use your own judgement on using it.
Fords F150 has more engine options/towing options than any of the other 1/2 ton size pickups.
Their turbo boosted engines can net in the 20+ mpg when not towing. Living in CO mountains JMO they would be a good pick.
Ram 1500 comes with a 3.0 v6 ecoboost engine thats advertised at 32 mpg hiway miles.
One rv website member has one he uses in his transport business delivering Airstream TTs. Hes always praising it for good mpg towing/empty and good reliability. His truck has lots on miles on the odo.
Don't forget GM Colorado/Canyon trucks sized just smaller than a full size 1/2 ton trucks.
