I'm in the market to buy a truck in a few years.
What do I get?
F-150 or GMC 1500 or a Nissan or a Toyota?
I think a 4x4 would be best. But do I choose a V6 or V8?
I need to be able to tow at least 8000 pounds minimum and I want to be able to install an auxiliary fuel tank.
Help?

Dodge tradesman has a second fuel tank already
ITS A VAN I'm talking about trucks lol
I'm fucking sick of moving house and using cars.
Plus I'm ready to bail out and go camping and not come back. I need to tow a pop up.
Not that user, but I would steer you to fleet vehicle choices that pop up here and there. You could also order a fleet truck made to your spec if you have the cash, or find one. I have an 89 f-150 4.9l I6 5-speed with dual tanks. It's old, but it hasn't let me down, and the engine is practically unkillable. The body will rust off before the engine dies. If you can find a well taken care of 97 F-250, you'll be sitting pretty.
My boss tows a big ass tow hauler/ camper with a 3.5L ecoBoost f150. Brother's friend tows a decent sized Pontoon with a new Escalade.
Personally I love the look of the new Silverado's, but the 3.5L v6 makes one pretty fucking fast truck.
OP here.
Inline sixes are amazing motors.
Is it better than a V8 though?
If it was diesel.
NOBODY has any input on what kind of truck is best??
I'm going with a 4x4 F-150 Supercrew.
Get the ecoboost and spool the fuck out of those turbos
the new 5.0 is a good motor, as is the proven chevy with a LS v8
the ecoboost will be a money pit in the long run
you'll have to search and see, but you might want to get a tow package; then you don't have to get a trailer hitch, trans cooler, and i think they come ready for a trailer brake controller now
