Hello,
First post on this forum hopefully you guys can help me make up my mind!!

Current tow vehicle= 2008 jeep liberty limited 4x4 pushing 202k miles

Trailers= primary one (used daily) 6ftx8ft single axle inclosed weighing in at 1,300lbs empty, average load is around 3,000lbs (including trailer weight), high end load which is about 6-8 times a year close to 5,000lbs
Second trailer= 8ftx20ft double axle inclosed weighing just shy of 3,000lbs empty, between 4,000lbs-8,000lbs on the heaviest load (usually about 3-4 times a year), average load is usually about 4,000-5,000lbs.

My jeep handles the single axle fine even when fully loaded (although off/on ramps get sketchy sometimes) but it gets super sketchy when hauling my bigger trailer forcing me to cruise along at 45mph on the highway or else i start swaying hard!

So my question is what tow vehicle would you guys recomend or have any positive reciews about that might help? I had to rent a uhual pick up a couple times this year to tow with and they gave me the new 2015 gmc sierra (single cab) which was beautiful and i hauled my trailers with ease that week! Which is why the sierra 1500 is my top candidate for my new tow vehicle, but im reading alot of good things about the brand new colorados/canyons that just came out and im considering those because of mpg and daily driving when im not towing! So outta the followong choices what would you guys suggest? 1. Sierra 1500 2. Silverado 1500 3. Coloarado/canyon 4. F-150 5. Nissian frontier 5. Toyota tacoma
I welcome all comments and suggestions
Thanks guys!

JMO but out of the selections I would go with either of the GMs or the F150. Just be sure they are equipped with the full towing packages. What size engine are you looking at. need to do a lot of homework. Remember you have to stop what you tow

It depends on the axle rating, construction, load distribution, and more. With a wide inventory of trailers available near you, Eveon Trailer Sales can help you find the right solution for your hauling needs.

From what you’re saying, the GMC Sierra 1500 sounds like a solid choice — I’ve driven a couple myself, and that power combined with comfort makes long hauls way less stressful. Plus, if it felt easy towing your trailers on the rental, that’s a huge green flag right there. The Silverado 1500 is similar, and honestly, a lot comes down to brand loyalty and local dealer service for me.

I get the appeal of the Colorado/Canyon for daily driving and better MPG, but if you’re hauling 8,000lbs loads multiple times a year, I’d be cautious. Those midsize trucks are great but might get taxed with your heavier loads. Safety and stability on the highway matter so much — don’t wanna be creeping along at 45mph forever!

As for the F-150, it’s a classic for a reason. Great towing, strong build, and super common so parts and mods are easy to find. Nissan Frontier and Tacoma are solid but probably not gonna be as comfy or powerful for what you need.
