Hi all,
I am looking for some advice on a tow vehicle. I was thinking of getting a 2008ish Toyota Tundra 5.7L w/ the tow package, mainly because I have a Tacoma now and have had good experiences with Toyota, but am open to other vehicles too. Sounds like bigger is better, but not necessarily for me as I have drive and park this truck in the city from time to time.
I've done the math and the Tundra would work numbers wise (gross combined weight is 12,400 and GCWR is 16,000) but I have seen things about the suspension not being great? Anyway, what other trucks might fit the bill?

- I Live in the city, so the smaller the better but still want to be safe and feel comfortable driving it with the trailer
- I'm in the midwest and not likely to encounter many hills
- need comfortable back seats to carry two teenagers (4 total occupants in vehicle)
- We plan to get a 24' tow behind: roughly 4800 dry weight
