Shopping For Tow Vehicle

Hello! I have a vintage Silver Streak 17’ (aluminum trailer) weighing no more than 2500lbs unloaded. I’m shopping for a tow vehicle that will double as my daily driver. I’m a long time Toyota fan for reliability and longevity and am interested in a 3rd Gen Tacoma V6. Does anyone here recommend a Tacoma or other mid sized truck for towing a vintage aluminum trailer? We will not be filling tanks with water, so that won’t be a concern. Tow vehicle needs to handle towing in the Texas hill country, and trips to Arkansas.

Travel trailer towing Q's for 3rd Gen Tacoma

Hello! I have a vintage single axle Silver Streak, similar to an Airstream, and am doing homework for my next tow vehicle. I've heard the 3rd gen V6 is pretty good for towing, but I've read mixed reviews. Anyone here have experience towing a travel trailer with a 3rd gen V6? My camper is 17' total and weighs 2500 lbs, leaning on the generous side with that number. I will not be towing with water in the tanks. I have a 3rd gen 4runner that I tow my 12' Aliner Ranger with and would like to stick with a Yoda for reliability and longevity.

Hand Cramps and Pain

Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on combating hand cramps. I'm 4 months into my job, and my hands are not used to gripping tools for 8 hrs a day. Cramping begins a few hours after my shift. When I wake up in the morning, my hands hurt if I try to hold my toothbrush without first massaging my fingers to loosen them up. During the shift, they feel fine. I alternate tools between dominant and non dominant hands and stretch my hands after work.

I'm not sure if this is just growing pains as my hands gain strength in gripping tools or if this type of pain is not normal. I will be discussing this with my doctor during an upcoming appointment, but wanted to check here too.
