Thinking about the next Tow Vehicle

Thr Ford 3.5 evo boost seems to be a decent mpg rig empty if ones foot is not lead in nature. Towing, on par with most rigs. Takes a certain amount of energy to move 12-13000 lbs be it with a 4, 6 or 8 banger.
GM I4 turbo might be an option in the Corado or fill size 1500 pickup. Like the Ecoboost, has a turbo, won't be effected with elevations like a non turbo motor. The 6 cyl diesel also is an option.
Ive pulled upwards of 8500 with my GM 4.3 V6. The trailer was not a high profile TT equal. I was easily doing 50-55 up a 3-4% freeway grade. An RV trailer I would swag 5 mph slower?!!;? Due to aerodynamics.....
I did not look at Ram trucks looking a year plus ago before buying my 1500 4.3. multiple boxes for different asst items I could not check off. I'm sure it's a good truck too if your wants are different than mine.

I was just looking at some older posts and think maybe we should stay with some sort of a truck? Is there that much difference between a 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton truck with a TT around 5,100 lbs? Some camping friends are towing a 31 ft TT with a 1/2 tone Silverado

Do the nominated trucks all have sufficient payload for an estimated 650 to 700 pounds of tongue weight and your family with what you want to carry in the truck? And I believe those trucks all have a shorter wheelbase than your current Ram…one of the reasons I moved from a Tahoe to a 1500.
