A Titan pulling a Z. I had success with towing my Z with wife's Pathfinder and I know he guy who runs the local Z club pulls his track built 350 with a Titan. Reminds me of the SRT-10 hauling a Viper :).
The Tundra and Titan are my top two favorites, followed by Ford and GM but really can't go wrong with any of them. |

I would go the biggest that you can. Over the past 10 years I have trailered my racecar, I have gotten a bigger vehicle each time, and now that I have a Ford Excursion, it is by far the best. Started with a Jeep GC - junk, tranny eventually went, then went to the Ford Expedition (which was nice, but always appeared to struggle), and finally the Excursion. As I look back at it, I should have bought the bigger vehicle in the beginning. I also say this because you might start today with an open trailer, but eventually you will get an enclosed, which needs a vehicle with 10k towing capacity minimum. As for the Titan, I have seen others at the track who have them, and haven't heard any issues, but make sure it has an upgraded tranny cooler (usually a HD trailer package) - it will help a lot down the road.

If I ever get to the point where I need a tow vehicle, I think I am going to spring for something like an F250!

Wow I didn't know they were that cheap. Nice low mileage, too!
|
I'm sure there are some diesels from like 05 and 06 that are under 20K as well.. not that you NEED a diesel over a 6.0L V8, but just saying..

The gas V8 is no slouch, 353 hp and 373 lb/ft, it's a great tow vehicle. The diesel would be only worth it if you wanted to tow a large heavy closed trailer and you plan on driving lots of miles. 2007 they improved the interior quite a bit, prior to that it was junk even by American standards.
