I had it in the back of my mind that I would need a better tow vehicle. I am planning a trip to the east coast and then a year later a trip to the west coast.I have been looking at the Ford F150 XTR with the 3.5 ecoboost, my son has one and it looks like a very capable and fuel efficient truck.
Yes, while the van would get the job done, somewhat begrudgingly, a half ton Eco boost or any of the V8s, or even the baby Eco boost will do it with comfort and power to spare.
Probably more importantly, the chassi of a full size pickup is designed to pull something like your trailer without even flinching. No wdh needed, no extra add ons. Gas n go.
