:CWL: I think I saw somewhere that this is "moose mode"

Thanks for all the info and especially your towing experiences. Been keeping close eye on all payloads and GCWRs. One advantage of the F150 actually. Payload is noticeably better than RAM. But you give up the RAM ride to get it. And nearest I can tell, with a full-size and my trailer...

Thanks for filling me in. I should maybe have clarified regarding the Ranger... I actually don't mind the exterior much at all. It isn't "wow" but it looks clean. Won't look dated I don't think. But the interior was where the story was very different for me. I'm gonna have to agree on those...

I am considering this route as well. However, given my life situation, I am thinking a truck I can use for work but is also acceptable for not-work and my only vehicle probably works better at this juncture.

Sadly, I agree with your conclusion. I tow several different trailers, either RVs or a 16’ flatbed almost weekly for short distances and my Rubicon is capable of towing everything I have hitched it to but it isn’t an ideal tow vehicle. Today we took 2 RVs to our local lake to get some pictures...

Yup. The F150 is my close 2nd choice after the RAM. Main reasons are that I'm looking at lower trims (I'm a guy that really just likes heated seats and bluetooth and cruise control) and the Big Horn RAMs can be had with power folding exterior mirrors and front and rear park sensors pretty...

Thanks for all the replies. I think I know the answer and most here so far seem to actually also be thinking along what I know is probably true... you need the vehicle that is designed to tow and is the right tool first. Anything else is secondary. Probably gonna go ahead and cross the...

Dave, this is really helpful. Thanks for the input. I have towed before, funny enough, a 17 foot daysailer sailboat with a 1990 Mazda 626 with manual transmission. I'd get looks pulling that sailboat with that car. The mirror feedback is helpful as well. I am also debating if I need the...

I know I kinda ripped the Ranger in my post, but if you're willing to share your thoughts a bit, I'd love to hear it

At OP…. Did you make a decision on your truck? similar situation for me but more around 5000lbs and Full size gives me parking problems at my house. would be great to hear what you decided.

Hello all! never owned any truck. Need one for work purposes to tow daily (or near daily) around town, max 40 miles one way on interstate, hills/mountains at say 35-45mph, pulling a 5000-ish total trailer weight (trailer+contents) enclosed cargo trailer. I’d frankly decided on a Ram 1500 V8...
