Ford or...?
I notice that a very large number of the people who post here tow with some sort of Ford product. I'm wondering if they are that much better than Dodge Rams or other hefty vehicles. What is it about...

And... half a ton is 1000# in the US. So a truck with a half-ton payload isn't worth much as a TV, is it?
Have you considered a Tundra? Mine has almost 200000 miles on it.
The more optioned your chosen truck is, the heaiver it will be. I think you know your tounge weight, so go into it focused on payload instead of towing capacity. Hey, Im experienceing some Dejavu here...
Actually, the Sequoia is doing fine. But my husband is nervous about driving it at or near the top of its capacity, and the fact that while we intend this trailer to be our (first and) last, who knows what the future might bring? The first one we fell in love with was a 26' Jayco, but we didn't want to jump into our first towing experience with something that big. So we wound up with a nice 22', but he's looking toward the future - not having a sofa could turn out to be a liability for us. And having one would require another 2' of length, minimum. So he's thinking that perhaps we should rethink the TV while the Sequoia has relatively low mileage. Yes, we understand the payload issue - the Sequoia has 1230#, which is fine for the two of us and our bag of potato chips, but would be an issue with more people, even small ones (and their mom) - and that's why he's thinking ahead.
So stay tuned for more "trolling" as the research continues!
