I apologize if this thread has been already spoken for but I couldn't come up with specifics via Search, so...
I didn't get a good response about a Nissan Titan as a tow vehicle. In addition, that one was 4wd and now I'm thinking I really don't need that. There have been a couple 4wd owners that said it was good to have when you REALLY need it but hopefully I'll be able to avoid getting stuck, and I'll have AAA for towing. I can see if I drop the 4wd in my TV search, the price goes way down (not to mention my future truck insurance) and the gas mileage goes up slightly. I'm trying to find out whether the Toyota Tundra, 2008 or newer, is a good TV. If I go that route, should it be a V8? I will be pulling a 2005 International 28 through the western states... and not necessarily very fast. I found a 2012 2wd 5.7L Crew Cab that has 9900 lbs towing capacity, 1665 lbs payload capacity, 7000 lbs GVW, 381 horsepower@5600rpm, and 401 torque@3600rpm. My trailer weighs about 6,000 lbs empty; not sure about weight yet for carrying stuff for two adults. The AS dealer says that's more than enough and he can set up my towing package accordingly. I have two months to find a TV. This has 37k miles and is going for $26k. Any opinions? Thank you in advance.
