Big SUV or truck
Looking for a tow vehicle for our new trailer. 5500# GVWR and tongue weight is around 650# loaded but may be more if we add bikes in our internal bike storage area. I've got 4 options I'm consider...

Well I really did like the truck. We've driven it a few times now. The whole family fits with tons of room, it had a great stereo, lots of nice gadgets. And the power running boards were awesome as they are wide and go down lower than regular boards so my 2 year old could climb in by herself safely (no feet slipping off a board).
But ya the 1110# has put that out of the running. It was an upper trim level with all the creature comforts that apparently weigh a ton (or a half ton. Ha ha.). Ford has a Max Tow package as well and I believe it increases the payload by 350-380 pounds so maybe that might work for us. Otherwise we have to step down a trim level to a lighter truck. Or get a 6.5' box which will no longer fit in the garage.
Maybe I should go see how big an F-250 is...LOL.
ETA: okay the smallest box is 6.75' on am F-250. Definitely not going in our garage.
