I am thinking of buying a new truck to pull our winnebago micro Minnie 5th wheel. We currently have a 2006 gmc 2500 . I’d like to go with a smaller truck for gas mileage and was thinking of a Toyota Tundra or GMC 1500 4x4. While the trailer is fairly light and we’ve been told a 1500 can pull this trailer, I’d like to hear other opinions. Is there anyone who has any experience towing smaller 5th wheels with these trucks? . Gross Vehicle Weight is 7000 on the trailer.
JMO...best non towing mpg will go the Fords F150 3.5 EB engine.
Plus the F150 has several higher gvwr/rawr packages than any other 1/2 ton truck out here.
However a engine in a 1/2 ton will get similar mpgs as a 3/4 ton gas truck engines when towing a trailer.
