Newbie looking for manufacturer recommendations

Go to the Riverside web site and see how you like those.

Hybrid owner here, from Portland in the PNW. While we have the biggest (aka heaviest) one that was made back in 2007, it has been wonderful for us. We've pulled it all over the west and southwest as well as year round to the coast and interior Oregon/Washington. We have either been lucky or just fortunate, but dealing with the tented ends hasn't been an issue. They dry super fast, so the few times we've closed up to head home and had to reopen them to dry out has been rare, and when we've done so, they tend to dry out in a hour or two depending on weather at home.

We've camped below freezing with no issues. Weather over 100 degrees gets a bit tough, but the AC takes the edge off.

Having a full bathroom and kitchen, place to play games in wet/cold weather is a wonderful thing.

For your truck situation, I'd consider a hybrid. They are a great option for space and weight concerns and not as problematic as some think.

Almost everybody that comes along new, asks which brands are good and bad. Unfortunately it just doesn't work that way consistently. Any of them can make a great product and a terrible product on the same day. Most experienced people either expect to do maintenance and repairs themselves or find a dealer that they think is good. Mostly you need to go into the process looking for the easy to see flaws before purchasing, and keeping a close eye on everything afterwards. You might as well count on spending time/money doing preventive maintenance right up front. To get those models that are considered better, you typically pay more. The one I posted above is typically considered one of the better manufacturers, but you still never know.

Thanks all, we want to stick with a travel trailer.
The hybrids are interesting but not a good fit for us.

I am aware of the limits of our truck, so I'm trying to keep the weight below 4,000 lbs.
Unfortunately, the Lance is over that.

I have been looking at these model, but not sure if the brands are good, any insights?

We will be attending the RV show here in February, thanks for the help!

With a family of 4, and bikes etc for the kids I think your truck will probably run out of payload capacity long before you hit your max tow weight.

A Popup, or Hybrid will get you lots more space with less weight. We had a popup for 9 years when our kids were younger. It was great for us. We pulled it with a Honda Pilot, or my truck depending on what all toys we took. The pilot pulled it really well.

The biggest problem I could see with a hybrid, or popup for you would be with living in Seattle, I assume it would be a pain to get the canvas dry to prevent mold and mildew.

The Toyota Tacoma V6 with tow package is listed at 6400 lbs towing capacity. So that restricts your trailer possibilities. The Lance 2155 mentioned above is 4800 +/- gross net weight (whatever that means!) so adding a thousand pounds or more is going to put you right at the max towing for that vehicle.

We have a Lance 1685 (LOVE!!!) with dry weight of 3800 lbs that we used to tow with a Toyota 4 Runner - similar situation to yours with slightly smaller tow vehicle & trailer. We towed safely for over 10,000 miles, but felt the trailer behind us every mile. We upgraded to a Tundra and never know the trailer is back there.

With the kids, you'll especially want to err on the side of safety. Be very careful with what trailer sales people say you can tow! They told us that we could safely tow 6000 lbs with our little 4 Runner when all the Toyota specs clearly said 5000.

Since you live in the NW, then Outdoors RV, or Northwood Nash. With the Tacoma V6, and passengers, your "comfortable" towing capacity will be quite restricted. For that reason, my #1 picks may be out of range for your tow rig.

Here's a nice all aluminum that might do the trick:
Camplite 21BHS

Last, (yes, you said pass on these above...), don't forget the Hybrid travel trailers. They have lost some popularity, but I still think they are a great solution for a small family, especially if you are stepping up from tent camping. You get the benefit of the hardwall trailer, and a great feeling of space with the tent slideouts, all without the weight penalty.

I am a big fan of Lance, owning one. The model you'd be looking at would be the 2155 w/ 3 bunk beds in the back. Go to YouTube and look at the Lance Factory Tour. High resale value too!
