not sure of TV needed for this TT
New to RV'ing. I'm in the market for a tow vehicle and TT. Most of the new TTs I like can be towed with a reasonably equipped half ton like a Ford 150with tow package. I need a 4wd crew cab as this...

I agree mostly with tmm2good, except you'll still want the more capable options in those half tons and their respective towing packages. No base naturally aspirated V6s for example. Pick your favorite brand half ton. If your trips involve higher elevations, then I recommend something with forced induction. The 2.7L Ecoboost in the 2015 F-150 would be a great match and 3.5L Ecoboost and Ram's Ecodiesel even better.
One thing just to verify as you shop is payload. This is the amount of extra weight the truck is designed to support which includes people and cargo in the cab and bed and trailer tongue weight. Crew cab half tons range from 750 pounds of payload to about 2400 pounds, with most in the 1200-1600 pound range. Just make sure the as equipped payload has enough for your estimates of about 700 pounds of TW, family and some gear.
Good advice here, you may look into the max payload pkg if you are considering a Ford as it will give you more options on tongue weight
