Having just bought a 94 Prowler 24 footer travel trailer. I saw the weight rating at about 6200 lbs gross. I will be looking for a truck that can handle this trailer. Looking at a price range of $4000 (about what I can get for my 01 Grand Caravan). I would love to get a small pick up truck. But found that very few are able to do this trailer. The small pick up I saw with this cap was, an early 2000s Ford Ranger with a 4.0 V6 and automatic transmission. And boy those are hard to find.
I seem to have better luck with the big boys! For about $4000, found a bunch of late 90's early 2000s F150s, or Chevy Silverado 1500s, I guess with a V8 and automatic trans. As they are alot easier to find, not to mention a little cheaper or about the same price as the small pick ups that actually meets my needs.
For the question!
Any more input for any pick up on the "smallest" side that can do this trailer.
For any of you who has a trailer like this one, what truck are you using.
