One reply midway through this thread really hits at the crux of the problem. "The dealer said sure your truck will pull it." Well virtually any full size truck out there will pull it. Even a 1500 would pull it. But pulling it is the least of the important criteria. Handling and stopping are far more critical. I think this is where many new buyers get side tracked; they concentrate on pulling and do not consider, at least critically, the other criteria. So now the original poster has some homework to do and based on those results decide if a stouter truck is required. I know it is small consolation, but he is not the first and he won't be the last that has faced this dilemma. About once a month someone starts a new thread asking the same question.
