Recommend Tow Vehicle

Hello,

My wife and I are looking to buy a new setup by next spring. I right now we are looking at a travel trailer or fifth wheel in the 27-30 " range. Nothing set in stone yet. With that in mind we are starting to look for a vehicle to tow with that will double as my daily driver. We have no real preference on brand but want to keep the purchase price in the $30,000 range. What vehicles are recommended with those requirements in line? There's no rush to purchase, just by next spring.

Thanks for any recommendations.
  • Diesel or gas. Either will do you a fine job. Personally, I like the Ford gasser EcoBoost.

    ^Diesel if you want to get there first. Gas if you want a newer truck for less $.

    Thanks.


    Diesel if you can swing it. I have a Cummins but the gmc and ford offerings are fine too

    Can't go wrong with any of the new offerings from the big 3. Buy what you like best
