Gonna pick up a Nissan Leaf EV in a few weeks. As such, I am going to likely sell my Honda Accord. So, I'm thinking it might be nice to have a small pickup truck to tow my M15. Weight of boat and trailer is 1600 pounds. I know because I weighed it twice since I couldn't believe it the first time!
So, what would be a good used pickup that would have the capacity to tow this package? Would a used base Tacoma do it? Any thoughts here?
