Getting started....tow vehicle recommendations....PLEASE!

We are looking at starting the adventure of having a travel trailer!!!! Our plan is to start with the tow vehicle. We are expecting to purchase a TT that is around 23ft. We would like to get a SUV ...

Don't forget that SUVs also have a low receiver rating. Another issue with SUVs is their low RGAWR (the allowed weight on the rear axle).


????. My Expedition had a 600lb / 6000lb weight carrying, and a 1000 / 9500lb Weight distributing, receiver capacity, The same as my truck.

However. It did only have a 500lb / 5000lb weight carrying bumper capacity. Again, Same as my truck. BTW.
