I use a Nissan Armada LE 4x4. This thing is a beast. It hauls my heavy ass car and trailer through the mountains with ease.
Things which make it possible I credit to. Nissan Titan Tow Mirrors Factory rear airbags Factory Trans & oil cooler Tekonsha P2 brake controller Weight Safe drop hitch (makes loading cars a breeze!)

my lx470 has been a trooper. towed my car everywhere with it over the last decade. never had any real issues besides last summer when a puddle turned out to be a pond and made the auto height control tweak out replacing the ahc with a lift and bags instead of fixing it cuz i'm dumb

Only had my GX470 for a few months. Just finished a bunch of maintenance including timing belt / water pump, radiator, Pullies, fan bracket, radiator hoses, valve cover gaskets, rebuilt started, intake manifold gaskets, injectors cleaned by RC engineering.
Finally had a chance to tow with it and it will be plenty adequate for my trailer and s13. It?s kinda a dog up large grades (like the hill up from Cajon Junction to hesperia where I was rolling along at 45-50mph). Got roughly 11.5mpg on the trip. On flat ground there?s enough power. Brakes leave something to be desired and soon I?ll upgrade to gx460 calipers and rotors and new fluid. Already bought a new Eibach lift kit and new front UCA and LCAs, will install those soon as well, and some other bits and pieces like Tundra wheels, window visors, doo-dads. |

I had a pretty lengthy response typed out then realized it's probably not even worth it. I know Florida is riddled with a trillion new cases of bat fever-1999 or some shit so you're probably not long for the world. The rest of us will enjoy women who don't have a taint that you can have a family picnic in.

Here's the truck and trailer I use. The owner of the company I work for is a car guy himself and let's me use the work truck for my track days. It's an 2014 International TerraStar, the thing hauls ass, lol

95 F-250, 351W ZF 5 speed manual. Tows cars anywhere, but I'm soon swapping in an LSD 4.10 rear to help in the mountains. Otherwise is rock solid and not that rusty for a northeastern OBS ford. Draw Tite trailer brake controller and an 18ft steel deck Eagle trailer.

As long as your rear is higher numerically than a 3.55, I think it will do you fine. That thing sure is purdy though. |

1997 Chevrolet Suburban with the BIG OL 454 7.4L big block. Tows great for a $2K rig. It get 10MPG no matter what i'm doing which is fine by me. Love the older rigs out there doing work.

I've since traded the tacoma in for a silverado 1500 but haven't gotten to tow with it yet. The tacoma actually did decent - even with 33s and stock gearing. Left it in 4th, pulled at around 70, and got 14 mpg.. Just wasn't about to tow across the country with it if I ever had the need to, and didn't want to keep dumping money into it (regear, bags, bla bla bla) instead of just upgrading.
