Best Truck For Towing Your Large RV

This thread seems to contain a bit of dated info but the person who did the video seems to have a dim idea of what is important. Only thing that concerned me is he used the published gross weight for his trailer but also the PUBLISHED PIN WEIGHT and never mentioned hitting the scales. I suspect the pin weight was a shade more in the real world than the manufacturer's published pin weight. Don't mean to start a brand controversy either.

Having grown up in a trucking family, I’m all for it. DW did NOT grow up in a trucking family!

I bought an M2 112 and love the 450HP power, stability and ride. I had a Chevy Silverado with Duramax and it pulled well enough but the stability and braking were lacking. My M2 solved all of those problems for me. New M2's are crazy expensive but used ones can be found at a comparative price to a one ton.
