Back when I was racing, the rule of thumb was if there are no hills then something like an F150 4 door with a small V8 will be okay. If there are any hills, get a diesel, meaning a 3/4 or 1 ton 4 door. A big extra is the dually idea and I was glad I had one, twice when a rear tire went bad and you can either stop a lot safer or just drive slower to a truck stop. My F350 would average 15 MPG pulling the toy hauler fully loaded.
