Hey all. I've been towing my Hiker Trailer "square drop" with a Subaru Outback XT for a couple years and it's worked OK. But for a variety of reasons, I'm strongly considering a new vehicle and a mid-sized pick up is high on my list. I've never had a pickup and can see some pontetial pros and cons to camping with a tiny trailer using pickup.
So for those who tow a teardrop or other very small camp trailer (i.e., too small to contain all the necessities) with a pick up, I'm wondering what you see as pros and cons to a pick up in this situation versus an SUV. How do you protect gear in the bed? Tonneau cover? Cap? Do you keep some gear/items in the cab (food? clothes?).
Thanks.
