Nice job, Cuz. Now you've done it. I doubt anybody will be able to stay on topic, and this will degrade into a "I've got a bigger truck debate", but I'll throw in my two cents.
You could throw a bucket of water on a match and just say get a F350/Chevy 3500/Dodge big diesel whatever at it, and be done. That's silly, though. Two to three machines (like your Attex, or even the BIGFOOT) doesn't way a whole lot. A tandem axle trailer isn't going to way THAT much. You can get away with a 6000 to 8000 tow rating, no sweat. If you're getting your permit and need a first truck, this opens up miles and miles of choices for you.
I've driven the 5.4 F150s for work, and it was quite pleasureable to drive with 1900 pounds of water just sitting in the bed. It's a work of utilitarian art, in my opinion. My Grand Cherokee pulled three tons without breaking a sweat. It has an 8000 pound tow rating, but the ZJs (and WJs) are often overlooked by folks because they don't have a bed. You know what I drive currently, and I love it.
Look at cost of ownership, cost to buy, engine choices, blah blah blah.... most full size trucks tend to keep their resale value quite well, which puts a lot of tow vehicles out of your immediate range for a starter.
Do you have any current favorites?

WOW! your opening up a bigger can of worms than the MAX vs ARGO debate! my F-150 with the 5.4 V8 pulls anything i've ever asked it to. i figure trailer + 3 machines + rokon + all our crap on the trip to Ashtabula was in the 6000 lb range, and on a long trip I have to be careful not to forget the trailer is back there.Leave a comment:
