There’s a saying to buy a truck for your next trailer...I’d personally go 3/4 ton with standard bed you could put a 5th wheel hitch iin when you decide to upgrade. This from someone who went from 23’ TT to a 5er after about 4 years...on my second truck since the first wasn’t enough. :D
Ha... I'm still on my very first TT that I bought back in 2002! Towed it with a 97 F150 with 5.4 when I first got the trailer and now have a 13 F150 in the sig... Still don't know why I need a new trailer yet? ;)
(I've modded this trailer over the years to work for just the two of us.. No kids, no pets that travel with us, really don't care to camp with other's, except for a few family trips now and then, but they all have their own RV's too.. Not even close to full time or long vacations.. Just long weekend trips, so don't need much more.)
