tow vehicle for travel trailer

[willg]

This is surly not the first post like this and probably not the last, but I am a newbie looking at purchasing a Rockwood mini lite 2304s dry wt. 5654, GVW 7660. I have never towed before. Finding the right tow vehicle is down right confusing so i”m looking for some advise from the experts! I don’t feel comfortable taking advice from car and rv sales people. Don’t want to overkill it, but also don’t to want to be underpowered driving in the mountains which will be a minimum of once a year up to the North Carolina mountains (Linville area). I’m assuming a 1/2 ton is sufficient. Looked mainly at the Ford F 150 2.7 and 3.5 EcoBoost engines so far. Thinking the 2.7 is too small. I would like any and all advice on any of the big 3 pickups but mainly advice on the appropriate pickup engine for the weight of the trailer. Thanks

my son in law has a F150 about 2 years old and tows his 28 ft TT with it without any issues. It has the v6 turbo engine just dont remember what it is size wise. So yes a big v6 with turbo will TOW what you want but it will not be a race car. He keeps up with traffic in the mountians here in AZ some with long pulls and can run away if he wants from our rv with the v10 while towingparticuarly on the hills.

Keep asking over and over. That’s my advise, surly.
