Our Tacoma was in the ;'barely adequate' category. it was fine pulling the casita 16 as long as we didn't overload with gear. our big summer trip last year for the eclipse and some national parks, and a major music festival, we were over-packed (I brought 2 10x10' popup awnings we really didn't need... I brought a generator + 5G of gas we hardly used. We had 8 camp chairs, a portable hammock, a large and small camp table, etc etc. all that and more would EASILY fit in this F250.
and, pulling the Escape 21 back from Dallas, the Tacoma did just fine, but the gas mileage was pretty bad and most annoying, the 21 gallon tank was just too small, when we were doing the cannonball thing, I would have liked to have been able to go farther than 200 miles before hunting for gas. the F250 should get better mileage AND has a 38 gallon tank.
now, I just need to find a camper shell for it, as my astronomy gear needs weather protection.
