Durable TH?

Looking to purchase a new to me TH. My question is, which TH can handle off-road driving, I've heard certain frames can crack. Would like to be able to fit a jeep in the garage. 5th wheel/GN is preferred. Weight isn't an issue, just looking for something that will be more durable, we have a Ram 5500 truck.

Also are full sheet aluminum roofs better durability in the long run?

Brands I've considered FR Work&Play, ATC, Sundowner.

    Yes you can, there's an aluminum flatbed on the truck with removable sides. It's on air airbags so the ride height can be adjusted to the 5th wheel.
