VISIT OUR RV NEWS WEBSITE: http://drivinvibin.com Small trucks are larger than they used to be, and many of them are great for towing.

These smaller trucks are also known as midsize trucks, and many of them have plenty of power under the hood. In fact, some of today’s compact trucks can tow more than 7,000 lbs.

This is good news for RVers. It means you don’t need a monster of a truck to tow a travel trailer.

What is a Small Truck?

The term “small truck” is a relative one used to describe the smallest trucks on the market. These days, there are two basic sizes of trucks, full-size and mid-size, and compact is another term for a mid-size truck.

That wasn’t always the case, however. Originally, compact trucks were a lot smaller than other kinds of trucks. They came along in the 1970s when there was a demand for small vehicles with better gas mileage.

They are not as big or powerful as full-size trucks, but they have a few advantages. For instance, they handle easily, get good mileage and can fit into tight spaces.


Hi, we're the Bradys! We travel the country in our self-renovated 1979 Airstream Argosy. We hit the road in September of 2015 with the goal to live minimally, seek adventure and enjoy the freedom of RV life. We've learned a lot in those years and have used that experience to create informative content about the RV lifestyle. We strive to answer any and all questions you may have that will help you on your journey to RVing!
