Now you're in a higher weight class with a TH. You should look at the actual total weight you want to tow along with higher tongue weights. You'll likely be in 3/4 - 1ton diesel territory.
I would not recommend any 2007+ SUV for a 26-28' toy hauler and any Harley. The receivers have too low limits at 1000 pounds max. If you 3+ rows of seats, then think 3/4 or 1-ton passenger van. Then you are comparing Ford's 5.4L V8 and 6.8L V10 to GM's 6.0L V8 and 6.6L diesel.
I agree 100%. A "28-foot" model toy hauler will actually be around 32'-34', and add in a slideout, GVWR will probably be between 11-13,000 GVWR with tongue weights will probably be around 1500-1800 pounds.
