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.

Keep your truck for towing, etc and get a Toyota Corolla Hybrid to conserve fuel. Buying a new big$$$, less capable, truck to conserve fuel is pointless, you'll conserve money by not buying it.

I suspect the salesman will say.
The price is MSRP, non negotiable.
However I do see some half ton models do have factory incentives with quite a few on the lot. They're specific models with specific powertrains and options. Most likely what was sitting in storage lots for months waiting on chips. Good luck with any of these Covid vehicles. Sales folks will outright laugh at you currently if you want to order an HD truck optioned how you want it and expect to get something off of MSRP. The local GMC dealer here will tell you MSRP to order on a 3500, and they're only getting allocated less than 6 a month so you go on the waiting list with no solid dates.
Personally I think anyone who buys a vehicle right now new, with interest rates spiraling up, and all the shortage/manufacturing BS you'll be getting due to the effects and after effects from Covid, is a complete fool. Be prepared to spend plenty of time at the dealer for recalls and other warranty foolishness.

I do not know how to reply to each individual, but want to thank everyone for their opinions. All makes good sense. Especially the one that says keep our 2500 and save money. The reason for possibly getting a new truck was because we are in snow country and our existing truck is not 4 wheel drive. We thought about selling our awd car and getting a 4 wheel drive truck Going down to one vehicle. We have a lot to think about.
