Found a TT, what tow vehicle do I need?
I found a TT 26ft, 7600gvw and dry hitch 450lbs.not sure how big of a truck I need. i did find a 2011 f150 5.0 fx4 gcvw of 15,100lbs. GVW 7350 and payload 1560. With tow package. It is too small?

Half tons will be likely payload limited. Confirm the as equipped payload per driver's door Tire and Loading sticker, not brochure/web site payload. With 450 pounds dry TW and 7500 pound GVWR, I expect you to have closer to 700 pounds loaded TW. Pretty hard to add 550 pounds of TW. It should be a good match.
However, with 3 small kids, you may consider an SUV. We got our TT when my kids were 1/2/5. Traveling with 3 kids in child seats in a crew cab truck was not enjoyable. Everyone could reach each other. We lasted 2 summers before replacing it with 3- rows of seats, more personal space.
