Help finding the right "horse"
New here. Quick intro and the situation. Please bare with me. I'm also venting :) I've done plenty of tent and travel trailer camping growing up. Looking to do some with the kids. We have a couple ...

Based on what Golden HVAC has said. I did go lookup the 04 and 05 ford datasheet. What an eye opener.
On that note. the GM 2500HD weights around 6000 with a 9200 gvwr. which would be close but maybe doable (3200-2800(hitch/pin)=400 for bodies) **** goes in trailer :) Living on the edge lol
The truck would not be a daily but I would like to run atleast once a week to/from work.
And.. as the other half says.. No LB, MUST BE UNDER 200K miles, MUST NOT BE DUALLY.. comparing parking menuvers of our friends parents 5th wheel (2013/14 big bastard) to our 1997 for saying we are fine with SB. If that is the case, a sliding hitch will be a must. I don't have a pic of the hitch on the camper but I don't think there was alot of over hang from the hitch on ours. I'm willing to bet there is quite a bit more on the newer ones because the SB's are very popular.
Newk, that is crazy! lol Maybe the GM diesel or ford gasser is where we'll start. :D At least we won't have to "always" drop the engine or lift the cab to do work on it.
Arguments are awesome over stupid stuff... Thank you for all the great info.. I will keep it to myself when picking out the truck. As probably most smart people do when they disagree with their spouse.
