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...

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.
I agree with the others, if you are thinking a fiver, a 1 ton truck is what you want. Buy a truck that will handle your next RV so you don't have to upgrade trucks too.DoberGirl50 wrote:

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! :-(
I disagree. There is nothing sexier than a lady driving a monster truck! Put an NRA sticker on the back and I may even propose.
I'm not a member of the NRA, but I do own a Glock and have a CHL. :-)
I think I'm in love! :W (My wife shot NRA Bullseye pistol competition for years. Then she fell and tore up her shoulder.)
