I now have a Casita towed by a Toyota 4-Runner and am looking to move up to a bigger TT; something in the 6000-7000# range. So I will have to get a bigger TV. I want a crew cab, half-ton pickup and am considering the above mentioned trucks. I admit I am biased towards the Toyota and Nissan brands as I have had very good service over the years with them. I have not had very good experiences, service-wise with Ford, Chevy, or Dodge pickups at work (I'm a forester). But, I will keep an open mind. We will be retiring soon and will be traveling a lot more with a TT; much of the time in mountains and much of the time on 3000-5000 mile trips. I will also be using the truck for daily commutes. Naturally, better gas mileage is a plus, and I'm looking for a gasser. My query is how well the various trucks hold up service-wise under towing conditions; mileage while towing and not; which has better towing capability. I know I will have to match the TT's weight, length, etc. with the trucks' towing capacity; I'm just trying to get ideas on which brands to go after.
It seems that in my travels and in reading this and other forums, that Fords are in abundance as TV's; is that a valid assumption and if so why? I'm very intrigued with the F150 Ecoboost.
Thanks for any light on this topic.
