since part of our business depends/involves towing, hre is my contribution.
ford diesel dually, diesel suburban (converted to a 1 ton including a full
floater diff), a motorhome. we tow a 24' enclosed -
about 12000 lbs loaded, an 18' enclosed vendor trailer, a 20' solid deck open
car trailer and a 30' open deck 2 car trailer. dually is best because of
increased braking capability. suburban does best
mileage on smaller trailers. motorhome gets ok mileage for a house. ted
