A 15,000 lb unloaded weight toy hauler could end up weighing 20,000 lbs loaded...

Giving us the unloaded weight of the trailer really doesn't help at all. Nobody goes camping with an empty trailer, especially a toy hauler.

What are you intending to haul in the trailer and how much does that weigh?

You need a dually, preferably with a diesel. Anything beyond that, depends on just how much the loaded weight of the trailer will be.

Avoid the 2003-2010 Ford 6.0 and 6.4 diesels.
