Towing our chosen TT

Pam's Dennis, I feel for you. After posting a nice question about your idea of a TV, it took just 15 posts to convince you that your choice was ALL wrong. This crowd wants everyone to drive a 3/4 ton and preferably a diesel.

I did read about some ecoboost issues in the early years but there are far more owners who sing the praises of this truck. Having one guy blast it shouldn't make you go off in a new direction. Hopefully more happy owners will chime in.

I don't have a Ford but drive a Tundra and I am happy with it. I also like the half ton but then it fits my style of camping. So, before you go off and get a big truck take some time and think about how you camp, what you take along when you do and what will you do with the truck when you are not hooked up to the trailer. I know nothing about your trailer so the weights there might suggest a heavier truck. When we camp it is just the wife and I, no pets and very little in the bed. I take along a generator and some extra water and, on occasion, a little fire wood. I am close to my limit but the Tundra handles very well and has plenty of power and torque.

Hopefully more happy ecoboost owners will post and support your decision. Finding a "good", "slightly used" quality vehicle these days is a real challenge. Good luck in your hunt.

Agreed. This is a great site but, only you can make the decision on how comfortable you are with any towing setup. Many of the members here are into overkill. I do not know the weights of your setup though so I don't know what you really need.

Be careful too if you ask about a weight distribution hitch. With your set up you may probably need one, I don't know. But, some of these guys will tell you need one of those just to pull a lawnmower trailer.
