Travel Trailer Towing Recommendations

The 3 tv you are considering are marginal and would limit your selection of trailer. If you are set on those then reduce your weight of trailer as well as the length. Trucks do a much better job of towing and can be as nice inside as a suv.

They already bought the TT.


OP, to do it right, your TT should be loaded for travel (clothes, food, dishes, etc) and weighed to understand what real world tow weight will be. Understandably that can be a challenge as you bought the cart before the horse - literally. So, guess your best on what the trailer will actually weigh towing and look for vehicles that can safely tow that weight. And don't skimp. A marginal tow vehicle will be no fun and introduces risk. Get the right vehicle. As others mentioned, you can't have too much truck, If you ever step up to a bigger trailer you don't want to have to buy a whole new truck as well. The SUV's you mentioned I think are too small for your TT unless you look at excursion or suburban. It's not just tow capacity, it's wheelbase which will affect handling. You don't want the tail wagging the dog. Also, as I am sure you are finding, there is a vehicle shortage right now. What you want and what you can actually find to buy is a challenge. New truck orders can take months and months and don't expect a deal. You can expect to pay full MSRP if not more in dealer add on pricing.
