Tow Vehicle Recommendations for 2023 Micro Minnie 2108FBS

[Jay Tea]

I am seeking recommendations on replacing my existing tow vehicle, for my 2023 Micro 2108FBS.

I am currently using my 2001 F350 diesel. It's in good condition at 225,000 miles. Weighing ~7,000 lbs, and having ~550 ft/lbs torque, it tows the Micro effortlessly without a WDH (airbags are fitted), although MPG drops down to 10-12 range when towing ~55-60 MPH. Most importantly, being an older truck, it's lacking in comfort.

I would like to upgrade / downsize to a smaller Ranger or Colorado mid-sized gas powered truck. Do these smallish-engine trucks have the torque and stability to easily tow the Micro on long trips, while returning reasonable mileage?

Real world experienced replies would be appreciated!
