I Tow a 2017 Open Range trailer that’s 33 feet long and weighs in at roughly 8K LB I purchased a new 2017 Ford F-250 with the Diesel engine the power and torque is awesome. As a daily driver it really wasn’t too bad but when the wife said let’s get a small car for you to drive to work I though ok then I can keep the miles down on the truck. I still drive the truck once a week and on weekends just cause I love driving it and can’t just leave it in the driveway. This new F250 is a luxury vehicle on a truck chassis. The adaptive cruise control is the best especially while towing. We have the super cab and the three kids have plenty of room in the back seats for a comfortable trip. We typically take a long trip down to California from the Seattle area every December to see family during the kids Christmas break. Been planning our trip now for this December.
My advice would be to buy the biggest truck you can afford. you will then have plenty of towing power for the future. Good Luke on you decision
