I am still driving my 02' Ford Excursion and I tow often. Currently I tow a 10K travel Trailer (Nash 27F), a 23' boat 7K (Century center console), a 23', 8K car haul/cargo trailer and a small 2.5K single axle utility trailer. In addition, we also use it when family comes into town, since the truck has seating for 8.
That is awesome, never seen anybody wear the hitch pin holes out!
I tow with a 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser these days but it is all light duty. The Cruiser is rated for 8000 lbs., but I’ve aged out on car haulers, 26 ft. enclosed trailers, and travel trailers. It was fun while it lasted.
2000 Honda Insight. Pretty pathetic, I've only had 2000lbs behind it and don't care to have that much. OTOH I towed ~1500lbs from Florida to Vermont and averaged 57mpg (at the pump) traveling at 65mph.
My tow rig is a 2006 Ford F-250 Diesel. 4x4 crew cab. I am setup to pull 5th wheel, gooseneck, and bumper pull trailer. I can pull 2 5/16th ball and a pintle hitch. I have 4 trailer, 2 enclosed, a 5th wheel camper and a flatbed car trailer. I would like to add a gooseneck flatbed and do some more hauling. My pickup is happiest when it is working and pulling. I have had it almost 5 years.
I also have a Mack and KW for heavy tows and a VW Pickup for <2500# loads
Having been a CDL driver for 47 yrs, I have seen a lot of towing accidents. (Usually too light of a tow rig, & short wheelbase such as Toyota pickup or 4 Runner)

I haven’t attempted to tow anything for about 10 or 12 years, not counting my time as a trucker
Best one I was around was my Pa’s Megacab Ram. That semi-hemi V8 was a hell of a rig, it pulled well until it didn’t, and then it could just downshift and find some revs to substitute HP for torque. Count me as a fan.
