Hybrid TT model suggestions?

I absolutely want to get away from the trailblazer. I do not want to tow anything more than a 2500 pound loaded trailer in a 6 cylinder. I am currently towing about 3700 pounds with it in a move, and very uncomfortable doing so. That Jayco is one of the hybrids I have been considering, doesn't seem like too much of a trade off. Thanks for the advice.

We had a V-6 Explorer - same thing - I wouldn't want to tow even a small hybrid with it. We found a good deal on a used F-150 and then upgraded from our popup to the hybrid. You might be able to find a crew cab half ton, or a full size SUV. No need for a 3/4 ton.

Since you have some time, find a local rv show and spend the day (usually in the spring or the fall). You'll see all kinds of options. Just don't listen to the salesman in regards to what you can tow - they are notorious for way over-stating what a vehicle can safely tow. Do that research on your own. Figure out what features are important and what kind of floorplan you like and go from there.

If you like hybrids, Jayco is good and they also make Starcraft. Or Forest River makes a lot of them under the Roo/Shamrock brand and also Palomino Solaire. And there are others out there too.
