Hi All! I have a 4000# pound, 22 ft travel trailer (dry weight) and a 2001 Ford 150 6cyl/4.2 liter truck (5500# max towing capacity). The truck doesn't quite do the trick over mountain passes or when semi's blow past me.
I'm looking at buying a used truck or Tahoe/Expedition/etc that would have more towing capacity.
I think a 2006 is in my price range since I only use it during the summer months to tow the trailer. (I don't want to have a $10K+ truck sitting in storage for 9 months. )
The large SUV's seem to be more affordable than trucks but I have read they have a shorter wheel base...but since my trailer is only 22' is that a big issue?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
