Some sort of list to see all towing information for TV?

[ugh]

Is there some sort of master list to see all towing information for TVs? I am tired of looking at truck or SUV that is for sale, then try and find out what the GVWR, max towing , etc is. Is there a place where I can just see the entire list and then I can make a list of TV that is the right fit for us? That will make it easier for us to find one.

Why 2008 and newer? I highly recommend something with a 6-spd trans, which means 2009+ Ford and GM half tons. Oh, how about Yukon Denali 2007+? 6.2L/6-spd rocket. If you want to spend less, then a Ford 5.4L with 3.55 or 3.73 or GM 5.3L 3.42 or 3.73 would be good. Ram 5.7L 3.55/3.73. All good choices for mid 2000s.

I would not go smaller than full sized half ton. No Durango, Dakota for example. and I would not tow it with a 6-cyl unless it was turbocharged, like late model Ford Ecoboost or Ecodiesel.

Great info. Thanks

Just about any 1/2 truck with a V8 will handle that light load. Use a quality hitch, weight distributing (wrong name but somebody will correct me - brain spaced tonight).

It seems like I need to get 2008 or newer in order to pull that TT safely. I just don't want another heavy duty truck.

BTW. I used to live in Washington, IL and worked for Pekin Insurance Co. I missed that little town. I moved down here about two years ago.

Keep in mind that towing an RV teds to put many/most vehicles over some rating other than the manufacturer's tow rating. If you were towing a boat or a flat bed trailer, then maybe those ratings could be more valuable. What are you trying to tow?

I am trying to find a truck to replaced my truck that I totaled on my way to pick up our new-to-us TT. The TT is 26BH with no slide. Dry weight 4,700 on paper.

Do a search on trailer life towing guides. It will at least give you a comprehensive list for each year.

Yes and No. I would had to look each one up. I was to see a list to make it easier to narrow my list.
