3.5L V6 of 5.0L V8
I recently bought a 37 ft. Grand Design Reflection TT that's 8600 lbs dry with 11,000 GVWR. I can't imagine any scenario in which I'll load it down to the full 11,000 capacity. My beloved Ford Explore...

Let me throw in a new variable just to keep the conversation interesting.
The only reason I have a TT is because I couldn't talk my fiancé into a fifth wheel. He's the one who has to tow it with his gazillion ton truck since I didn't want to part with my beloved Explorer so I had to concede. Fast forward a few weeks and I'm having a change of heart about my Explorer and thinking of getting my own gazillion ton truck (hence this post). If I'm going to get a truck, I might as well get something that will safely tow a fiver (See? I'm getting the lingo down) if I decide to trade on the TT. The dealership wants to sell me a F250 Diesel 6.7L PowerStroke, which sounds super scary and powerful to me for daily use.
Sigh. I'm realizing that if I want to dive into the RV life, I'm gonna have to commit all the way. Bye-bye sexy red Explorer! :-(
