Good advice. Once you get in the mountains you will be asking a lot of either of those two trucks. It will hard on them, especially the transmissions.
It is easy in the showroom or RV show to get sold on a big trailer. Then the saleman says "you won't have any problems." Actually you will.
If you tow in the flatlands it might be different.
I have a friend that bought a new 30 foot trailer "to save money on motels." He pulled it with a Jeep Cherokee and burned up the transmission. Then he went out on bought a new pick-up with a Banks set-up. So much for saving money.
