When we purchased our first trailer in 2009 I had a Silverado 1500 that only towed 6800#, I knew with the trailer I was pushing the limits but we were towing it to the campground 2 hrs away and leaving it there. We would just pull it out of storage and set it up so the once or twice I had to pull it was not much of a deal breaker. When we decided to travel I upgraded to the Tundra in 2010 which was more than enough for that trailer. We went to a bigger trailer in 2014 and the Tundra was more than capable but knowing we would still be traveling more and the eventual end game was to go to a fifth wheel I upgraded the truck last spring. The F350 6.2L is more than enough for this trailer and we really do not see us upgrading anything in the near future other than the hitch.
