Can the Tundra or F-150 tow 7000 lbs. as well as my 1984 (454 hp) Chevy Suburban?
I have a 1969 Kencraft 23 foot trailer that I tow
and am looking for a truck that can tow it as well
as my suburban has. I like the idea of 4 doors
--especially the F-150 Super Crew but don't know if
the 5.4 L 260 hp or the Tundra can do the job.
Has anyone has any experience towing 7000 lbs. or
more?

Anyway...like he said..get a 3/4 or 1 ton. A diesel is not needed. The chevy 6.0 will tow 11K...so it will be fine for the job.
Good Luck

Four doors are available with the F-250 and they can run as low as 22-25 grand if you get it without too much options. The Dodge and Chevy are fine but I don't know if they offer four exterior doors on their 3/4 tons.

....What does Toiletta have??....1HP per 100 Cubic inch??
I'm assuming that you've had both the sub and trailer for some time and are a confirmed camper. The advice of the 3/4 ton and diesel is good advice. I'm partial to Fords and diesels so I'm also biased. A good diesel and a 3.73 rear end should do the trick. Ford makes a crew cab in the F-250 super duty and the diesel is a delight. In typical LA traffic I get high 16 to low 17 and on the road I've gotten over 19. (All unladen)
Enjoy,
