Need help picking out a used truck to tow

We are considering buying our first travel trailer, and I could use some help figuring out the tow vehicle needs.

We are looking at a Keystone Sprinter (278BHS). The overall length is 31'8", weighing 7000 pounds, and 785 at the hitch. The fresh water tank is 81 gallons. As far as gear, we will have 2 adults and 2 kids, with occasionally 2 kids' friends to join. Not sure what all that adds up to, but I'm guessing 1200 to 1500 to be safe. So I suppose we are looking at about 8500 total, maybe a bit less.

We do not have a tow vehicle, and would like to find an used pickup that will work well. If possible, I'd like to keep the budget around $8,000 to $12,000, but since I am new to pulling an RV, I don't want to skimp here, or wind up with something that will be pushing it or worse, be unsafe.

So the main question is for any suggestions on what we should be looking at (F150/1500 or bigger?), 2x4 versus 4x4, maximum reasonable milage for a used truck, etc. I am also wondering whether a shorter truck (standard cab, short bed) would be easier to manuver than a longer truck (new to towing and want to keep it easy to handle). Also, does a hitch sway bar or other hitch equipment make sense for us?

Thanks in advance!

We are looking at a Keystone Sprinter (278BHS). The overall length is 31'8\", weighing 7000 pounds, and 785 at the hitch. The fresh water tank is 81 gallons. As far as gear, we will have 2 adults and 2 kids, with occasionally 2 kids' friends to join. Not sure what all that adds up to, but I'm guessing 1200 to 1500 to be safe. So I suppose we are looking at about 8500 total, maybe a bit less.

We do not have a tow vehicle, and would like to find an used pickup that will work well. If possible, I'd like to keep the budget around $8,000 to $12,000, but since I am new to pulling an RV, I don't want to skimp here, or wind up with something that will be pushing it or worse, be unsafe.

So the main question is for any suggestions on what we should be looking at (F150/1500 or bigger?), 2x4 versus 4x4, maximum reasonable milage for a used truck, etc. I am also wondering whether a shorter truck (standard cab, short bed) would be easier to manuver than a longer truck (new to towing and want to keep it easy to handle). Also, does a hitch sway bar or other hitch equipment make sense for us?

Thanks in advance!","body@stringLength":"1277","rawBody":"We are considering buying our first travel trailer, and I could use some help figuring out the tow vehicle needs.

I would at least consider buying a crew cab truck to haul people comfortably with you. Our trips are usually at LEAST a few hours from home one-way and most are at least double that.

We have a longbed (adds to the weight) with a truck cap (adding to the weight), diesel (heavier than gas), 4x4 (adds to the weight), haul a good deal of extra gear like bikes, a grill, etc. and then the weight of 5 people and the approximately 1300 lbs. of tongue weight all sitting on that suspension, which is why I wanted the 1 ton F350. Remember, anything adding to the weight subtracts from payload capacity.

I would seriously consider a crew cab, at which case you definitely want the 3/4 ton (at minimum).","images":{"__typename":"AssociatedImageConnection","edges":[],"totalCount":0,"pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null}},"attachments":{"__typename":"AttachmentConnection","pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null},"edges":[]},"timeToRead":1,"currentRevision":{"__ref":"Revision:revision:1586108_1"},"latestVersion":null,"messagePolicies":{"__typename":"MessagePolicies","canModerateSpamMessage":{"__typename":"PolicyResult","failureReason":{"__typename":"FailureReason","message":"error.lithium.policies.feature.moderation_spam.action.moderate_entity.allowed.accessDenied","key":"error.lithium.policies.feature.moderation_spam.action.moderate_entity.allowed.accessDenied","args":[]}}}},"Rank:rank:40":{"__typename":"Rank","id":"rank:40","position":31,"name":"Explorer III","color":"333333","icon":null,"rankStyle":"TEXT"},"User:user:110548":{"__typename":"User","id":"user:110548","uid":110548,"login":"Gdetrailer","biography":null,"registrationData":{"__typename":"RegistrationData","status":null,"registrationTime":"2007-01-05T15:32:39.000-08:00"},"deleted":false,"email":"","avatar":{"__typename":"UserAvatar","url":"https://community.goodsam.com/t5/s/feyqc97479/m_assets/avatars/default/avatar-9.svg?time=1737155183000"},"rank":{"__ref":"Rank:rank:40"},"entityType":"USER","eventPath":"community:feyqc97479/user:110548"},"ModerationData:moderation_data:1586107":{"__typename":"ModerationData","id":"moderation_data:1586107","status":"APPROVED","rejectReason":null,"isReportedAbuse":false,"rejectUser":null,"rejectTime":null,"rejectActorType":null},"ForumReplyMessage:message:1586107":{"__typename":"ForumReplyMessage","author":{"__ref":"User:user:110548"},"id":"message:1586107","revisionNum":1,"uid":1586107,"depth":1,"hasGivenKudo":false,"subscribed":false,"board":{"__ref":"Forum:board:TravelTrailerforum-board"},"parent":{"__ref":"ForumTopicMessage:message:1586093"},"conversation":{"__ref":"Conversation:conversation:1586093"},"subject":"Re: Need help picking out a used truck to tow","moderationData":{"__ref":"ModerationData:moderation_data:1586107"},"body":"

We have been renting for the past 5 years, so we have a pretty good idea about the packing issues, and eliminating anything we do not absolutely need. But our rentals have been motorhomes (24-28 foot), so the tow vehicle and tow capacity is all new, same for parking.

Does the math work better with a 3/4 ton? Or is this F-350HD only territory?

By the way, I plan on leaning heavily on our dealer's delivery service for the first summer, and will be reading and researching heavily before buying a tow vehicle. As well, I am looking for a good RV training/driving school - something like www.rvschool.com (suggestions?).


The lines between sizes (1/2, 3/4, 1 ton) now days are really blurred..

A lot really depends on what model, cab size, bed length, 4x2, 4x4 and any other optional packages the truck may have.. all of that eats into the payload..

Those high tow capacities that folks really like to use are typically based on the bare bones base model with regular cab 4x2 and no options what so ever..

If you found a regular cab F150 XL 4x2 short bed with say Econoboost engine plus with HD package it is possible to get one with a little over 2K of payload.. Unfortunately that isn't going to work for your situation and finding one of those stripped down basic models is nearly impossible..

The trailer you are looking at with the size of cab you will need is at a min of a F250.. But you will need the crew cab and that starts eating into the payload..

For instance, I have a 2013 F250 XLT, super cab 4x2 with 6.2 short bed.. My payload available is 3,414 lbs..

Crew cab is going to drop that capacity as well as 4x4 and if you went with diesel you could end up with a payload around 2K or a bit less.

This is why you really need to find out the payload of the vehicle before buying!

Since you are looking at used with 8K-12K for budget you are going to be looking at some rather older high mileage vehicles for sure. I'm guessing 2000-2006 perhaps if you are lucky.. Trucks hold values pretty well so used ones are not cheap and the ones that are cheap are well worn out.. if you don't \"need\" 4x4 then include 4x2 in your searches.. You can save some money with 4x2 but they are harder to find since most folks want 4x4.

As far as jumping into to towing, yeah that is a lot of length.. 32ft trailer plus 22ft of truck gets you to 54ft of train to deal with..
