My wife and I have a 2012 Jayco Skylark. They have discontinued the model, it was an expensive travel trailer but only weigh's 3000lbs and are single axle! Only has a max of GVRW of 3500lbs I just make sure to drop my tanks before heading out.
Dedicated bed, bathroom, huge kitchen high efficiency everything and lots of storage.We really like it but are looking to upgrade as we plan on camping 5 months out of the year now.
The smallest truck I've used to pull it is a 2011 4.7L ram v8 which only was rated to tow 7500lbs. It didn't even feel the trailer. (It stayed in OD 90% of the time!)
I used to own a V6 4.0L Ford Ranger and I know it would of had no problems pulling this trailer as i have towed 4500lbs with that. If I remember right it was rated less then a V6 Taco, around 5500lb vs 6000+.
