we have a 2005 tundra, E-2 Fleetwood.  Tundra pulls like a dream, we just visit gas stations a little more often.

Pull my '86 Coleman Sun Valley with my 1997 Kia Sportage 4cyl (168,000+ miles). Tows it fine, without any sway and gets about 23 mpg while towing (26-27 during normal driving).

Outstanding Bowfin!

Well if we're going to unusual tow vehicles, I use a 1990 model year 6' 1" boy to help me move mine around the driveway.  Works great once you get past the girlfriend and the tempramental attitude.

My "road going" tow vehicle is a '98 Ford Explorer 4WD. I don't have any pics of it since they are a dime a dozen. It's got a Yakima rack on top for the other toys. It has a 4.0 SOHC six cylinder motor which is surprisingly strong and totes the toys pretty well.

I also have a '79 F100 with a super six (300ci six with a 4brrl Holley, plus a few extras) that I can tow with if I need to bring along the buggy. I've still got to add power brakes, better gearing, and possbily power steering to better tote the camper.

I've got too many hobbies as it's hard to keep up with all the forums I'm on now. This one seems like a great one, so I'll probably "camp-out" here for awhile.

I'm digging your camper Mojo. That's sweet with the ground clearance and the rack on front. I like the different look it has compared to the typical PUPs.

Here is my 2005 F150 and 2006 E2...

There was a thread just like this here recently.
 
Anyhow, here's my rig. A 2005 Pathfinder with 270 Hp @ 5600 rpm, 291 lbs of torque @ 4000 rpm, 6000 lbs tow rating, 600 lbs hitch rating, and 1307 lbs payload rating, pulling a 2007 Starcraft 2406.

 
Have a good one.

Our TV is a Ford one ton van, it has a V10 gas engine and 4 wheel drive.

To get out PU to look right [with the lifted van] we did an axle flip.

I had a 2000 Tundra, and then traded it for a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe LX AWD.  However, last Sunday my Santa Fe sustained substantial damage. I hit a full-grown escaped cow that was wandering across a rural highway at dusk. :yikes:

  I hope to have it replaced with a 2007 or '08 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited AWD as soon as the dealer can locate one with the color and options we want.

I just replaced the cow-totalled Santa Fe with a new 2007 Ford Sport Trac V-8 4x4. It was just delivered today and I don't have any photos yet.
