Tow vehicle for newbie
Have just bought a 2010 Forest River R Pod 172. I have a 2000 Toyota Tacoma with a 2.7 4 cyl 5 sp manual tranny 4x4. I pulled the trailer home about 30 miles and it pulled great, but I have some concern about mountain roads when camping. We love the north ga mountains. What would some of you experienced campers recommend as a tow vehicle. Do not particullarly want to go diesel, too much maint. Also want something that if I decide to go with a little bigger camper later on, I will not have to trade vehicles. I don't see myself getting a whole lot bigger than the r pod. Also don't want new tow vehicle. Something few years old but dependable. Have thought about full size crew cab, gas. Maybe with bed cover. We have 2 grandsons and they will probably be going with us on occasion. Know I am asking a lot but any advice be greatly appreciated
