5 Reasons Fox Factory Trucks Are the Best for Towing RVs and Toy Haulers

When towing an RV or toy hauler, having the right truck makes all the difference. While most stock trucks can tow, they don’t always offer the stability, control, or comfort needed for long hauls, especially on rough terrain.

That’s where Fox Factory Vehicle’s line of upfitted trucks come in.

We have the best trucks for towing rvs and toy haulers

Whether you’re towing to a campsite, motorsports event, or off-road trailhead, these upgrades ensure better handling, stability and ride quality while looking great.

Here's how:

1) Fox Shocks

Many Fox Factory trucks are equipped with a suspension lift kit with race-proven Fox shocks for the ultimate in performance and driving comfort. How does this help you while towing?  


  • Reduces harsh bouncing and trailer sway over bumps and uneven roads 
  • Improves ride quality, making long-distance towing less fatiguing. 
  • Enhances brake stability when hauling heavy loads. 

For example, a bone stock truck can feel unpredictable when towing a heavy trailer over rough bumps, potholes, and uneven pavement. FOX shocks allow you to soak up the terrain on or off the road while keeping the truck and trailer controlled and steady. 

Adjustable shocks from FOX offer fine tuning of the suspension for optimal performance and ride quality across varying terrains and conditions (Click here to shop upgrades!)

2) Suspension Lift Kit

Towing with a modest lift assists with clearance on driveways, gravel roads, and uneven terrain. A proper lift kit also keeps your trailer level with your hitch to maintain an ideal towing angle for optimum stability. Depending on the application, these trucks come standard with overload-equipped rear leaf springs or progressive rate coils to maintain load capacity while providing smooth on-road ride. 
 
This is all crucial since RV or Toy Hauler owners often take their rigs to places like campgrounds, state parks or construction zones. All these environments can be tricky with a stock-height truck.

3) Custom Wheels and Tires 

A wider tire means more contact patch for better grip on wet roads, dirt, or gravel. The custom wheels and all-terrain tires that come standard on Fox Factory trucks reduce fighting the steering while towing at high speeds and less risk of punctures off-road.  
 
The Rocky Ridge and Black Widow truck packages available through Fox Factory partners offer better traction and safety to keep you worrying less about what can happen on the road, and more about the adventure and fun that lies ahead.

4) Built for Comfort

Getting in and out of a lifted truck couldn’t be any easier with Power Running Boards that are equipped in many of the Fox Factory vehicles. Once inside the truck, you’ll be met with custom leather seats, stitched headrests, premium interior lighting custom floor mats to combine comfort with style.

Towing trips can often mean hours behind the wheel, so why not be stylish and comfortable while doing it?

Depending on the Make and Model, you may find even more creature-comforts embedded between the infotainment system and camera technology to make towing a breeze. For example, the F-150 comes with Ford’s Co-Pilot360 that uses camera and sonar technology to guide you in the right direction when changing lanes or parking. The Pro Trailer Backup Assist makes backing up a long trailer no big deal with the turn of a knob.

5) A “Flare” For Style

Fox Factory trucks feature color matched fender flares for a bold, aggressive look. You won’t be able to ignore how the fenders add a rugged stance that looks custom and high-end. Along with that, fender flares provide extra protection from debris both in on and off-road scenarios.

Whether you’re pulling into a campground, racing event or truck show, your truck will stand out in a crowd and leave you looking back at it with a smile.
