I have a 2013 model, and I use a Dodge Ram 2500. But I just like not ever having to worry how much stuff or water I have on board. I am addicted to over kill and diesel smoke.

Your trailer will weigh approx. 5700lbs loaded for a trip With a 12% tongue weight of around 700lbs. A properly equipped 1/2 ton/full size SUV will do just fine!

A properly equipped 1/2 ton could do it, a 3/4 ton will do it better

Most 1/2 ton trucks with tow package should do it but a 3/4 ton would give you more leeway.

How many people and how much gear will you be hauling?
