Help! What truck should I buy?
I am looking for a truck to pull our 3000lb travel trailer. I know it's lightweight but I would like to have wiggle room to upgrade someday. I am torn between two trucks 1) 2012 Tundra double cab...

What do you use the truck for other than towing?
- If it's a daily driver with significant miles and only a modest number towing, I would probably go with the better fuel economy.
- How long before you think you might upgrade? If you get something in the 7000+ range in 5 yrs, you probably want to upgrade to at least a 3/4 ton, so don't worry about potential future use.
- Also how much flat land vs mountain driving do you expect? If there isn't much climbing, the lower power motor will be less of an issue towing (though still plenty for 3000lb trailer)
