.... Just testosterone driven braying!
Being from Texas I see this all the time. LOL.
First of all I'm a woman so I don't need any penis extender truck. ;)Just one suited for the job. Fishing rods, kayaks, footballs, and a few bags of feed are the biggest things this truck will be hauling (other than the TT a couple of months a year). A decent half ton truck is all I need. If this used trailer is too big for that, I will probably keep looking. I've pulled a too heavy trailer cross country before and don't plan to make that mistake again.
After nearly 30 years of doing field biology out of tents and little Ford Ranger sized trucks all over the US and Mexico, my needs are minimal, but as a single parent I've got kids to deal with now. A TT has some advantages, but I need a small one, and don't foresee circumstances changing to justify a bigger one.
20 ft trailer is the maximum that can safely navigate the hairpin turns to get to some of my field sites. If I could find a smaller one with enough beds I would. Need a hard sided trailer for sleeping in mostly - we are outside most of the rest of the time. My twins are 10 y.o. and we will be in bear country and I don't want some forgotten jerky or candy snuck into a tent to cause a tragedy. I've dealt with bears in campsites and don't need to repeat it with kids too. An actual bathroom will be a luxury!
I figure I have 5 years max before the boys have too much else going on in their lives to want to spend most of the summer traipsing along with mom. Might go with a teardrop at that point.
