I have a keystone outback 312BH its 35.5 feet long.

Here are the specs

Shipping weight = 7304
Carrying capacity = 1696

Im trying to decide the best truck to pull this with. Im thinking either the Tundra "I love Toyota" or the Ford F150. Here are some comparisons between the two trucks.

Been researching and this is what I came up with.


F150 vs Tundra

Towing capacity
F150 = 11,800
Tundra = 10,200
------------------
GCWR

F150 = 17000
Tundra = 16000
------------------
GVWR
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_vehicle_weight_rating

F150 = 7000
Tundra = 7000
------------------
GAWR
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_axle_weight_rating

F150
Front = 3525
Rear = 3800

Tundra
Front = 3900
Rear = 4150
-------------------
Load Capacity "from sticker inside driver door"

F150 = 1810
Tundra = 1202
-------------------
Horse Power/ Torque
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-parts/towing/towing-capacity/information/horsepower-versus-torque.htm

F150
HP = 365 @ 5000 rpm
Torque = 420 @ 2500 rpm

Tundra
HP = 381 @ 5600 rpm
Torque = 401 @ 3600 rpm
---------------------
Gas milage "under normal driving"
F150
City = 16
Highway = 22
Average = 18

Tundra
City = 13
Highway = 18
Average = 15

What would you guys suggest?

honestly, and everyone knows how I feel about F150, or 1500 series truck. But your best bet with that TT would be a properly equipped F250, or other 2500 series truck.
