I tow a 2007 International CCD 22 footer dual axle with a 2012 Crew Cab short bed 4WD Tacoma. I use a ProPride hitch system, and a bit of patience on the long climbs. Stopping has never been an issue with the aftermarket trailer brake controller set properly. The rig gets an average of 10-14MPG depending on terrain.
Sure, I would love the extra horsepower of a Tundra, but that’s a late next year purchase...besides, I’m semi-retired, and never in a huge hurry. We have to stop to walk the dogs and take walk-around and potty breaks anyway.
