I am looking to rent a 30-32 foot unit for 3 months to tour the western US. Would like to pick up and return the unit in a Mid West location. We are a couple in our 70's and will be traveling alone. We are life long RV'ers. Our last RV was a 36 foot Airstream. Our tow vehicle is a 2013 F150 Platinum rated for 11,000 lbs GVW

After reading what the others have said, I can't disagree with any of them, especially about the size FW you're looking to tow. With FW's it's not what you can TOW, it's what your truck can CARRY, and you'll be severely limited on the payload of any 1/2 ton truck, even the newest. Most FW's that size would easily overload my '02 3/4 ton Duramax at =dry= weight. Either buy a used, SMALL, FW and resell at the end of your tour, rent a motor home and tow a small car or look to a travel trailer. That truck will tow plenty of TT, with a weight distributing hitch. Here in PHX, I see very, very few FW's for rent, other than toy haulers, so you're in for a challenge.
