I pull the 3800 pound Raider rig with a Ford E-150 Van with the 5.4 liter V8. It pulls great, ebven up the ramp at Jamestown, and even with the AC on full tilt. Get about 12-14 mpg towing. I like the van because it has plenty of seating to tak friends, pack luggage inside to keep it secure and dry, and plenty of room inside for tackle boxes and rods to keep that stuff secure to and from a trip. And the bonus is, if you want to go overnight and safe a motel room, the van has a ton of space to stretch out full-lenght if you take the back seat out and leave it home. Not sexy, but for me, its darn practical.
