A couple of thoughts. You will need aibags on the rear for a truck that old. They weight 35#. You can keep your hitch weight down with an Andersen Ultimate Aluminum (about 100# less than others and good for short beds). Any fiver for you will require you to be prudent on storage bin management. Use 20# propane tanks not 30# to save weight. Lastly, like said before, focus on 1/2 ton towable.
