Great little truck I have '07 V6 4x4. These are a far different animal than the earlier model in the link above. I know they'll pull a 19' Escape trailer just fine, fully loaded at 15 MPG to boot on long hwy trips. With mine I wouldn't hesitate to pull a typically constructed travel trailer up to a dry weight of 3000 maybe 3500 lbs. These trucks have 260 HP and are quite heavy. They also have very direct and solid handling and come equipped with decent tires.
There's two weak spots on these trucks to be aware of. One is the transmission cooler coils in the radiator have been known to leak coolant into the transmission fluid. I replaced my radiator proactively. The other is there were some issues with the timing chains on earlier models. I had timing chain replaced at about 100K miles. Otherwise these are tremendously cool little trucks and great to drive.
