What about this one?

We're looking for a new to us truck to tow our (soon to be) new to us 34' Airstream and found this one:

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...ngId=446950012

Keep in mind that this will be our daily driver as well as the tow vehicle and that it will have to have a shell topper to cover all of the stuff that will have to live in the bed. I haven't weighed everything, but it will probably all add up to somewhere between 1500 and 2000 pounds.

What think ye? Enough truck, or not?

Find out what the payload is (from the door sticker), you can do a rough calculation. Last 250 I looked at had 2900# payload, some have less, some more. Just roughing it out, if the hitch weight is 1000#, you would have 1900# payload left. A cap weighs in around 180#. No idea what you weigh, but lets figure 160# each. So now you're down to 1400# capacity for other stuff.
