What would be the min size truck to tow 24 foot enclosed?

Steves68Nova · 08-19-2010, 03:25 PM

While I use a 1/2 ton F150 Supercrew with a 5.4 to pull it is not a optimum truck to pull with. I pull it 47 miles to my home track and have pulled it 150 and 94 to other tracks. Do not do it without trailer brakes at a minimum. Also a equalizer hitch is probably needed or at the least air bags. As said above you have to worry about stopping. We drive below the speed limit and keep an eye on the traffic in front of us. I have still had some instances where I was worried.

I have towed my 24 ft trailer with a 1998 Expedition (5.4 engine) a zillion miles to many tracks east of the Mississippi. (and KCIR a few times) 8,000 pounds loaded?

Good cam style equalizer bars. Prodigy brake controller. A prayer once in a while.

Not proud of it, just cautious.

i'll prob just look for a used F250 diesel to pick up. Why im asking is it will have to be for towing but also for daily driving = P
