I'm thinking about replacing my truck because it can't tow what we need. We are new to RVing and our Plan A as to find find a used TT thst we liked and that we could safely tow with my truck. Well the search isn't going well and we're going to plan B. Buying new tow vehicle that can pull a decent sized TT.

So I keep reading/hearing that the today's half ton trucks are much more robust that they were 10 years ago, claiming today's half tons are like yesterday's 3/4 ton. Is that true?

Below is a link to one of those articles.

Odds are we are going to get a TT that weighs (GVT)beweet 5500 to 7500 lbs so I'm wondering if what size truck to get and we'd like to hear your opinions.

Lastly if we decide upon a 5th wheel we'd definitely get a 3/4 or 1 ton truck.

What do most TT owners use to town with?

What’s your current truck?

JMHO, get the most towing capacity you can. Nothing wrong with a Ram 2500HD, Cummins Turbo Diesel. Ours does very nicely towing 8000# with a loaded short bed. It’ll handle a large 5er should we choose to get one.

Should you drive the “hills” you’ll need the power.

Lots of threads and opinions here on the subject ;)
