I think you will quickly discover the term "light" is a relative term. It means what the manufacturer says for their product. Generally speaking though to conserve weight on some models manufacturers will skimp on tank capacities, frame, tire, and wheel capacities. Not to mention lighter weight materials used in construction. With your truck, while it is not the latest and greatest. It is still capable of hauling a fifth wheel in the range of 10-11000 pounds GVWR very comfortably. What type of RVing do you prefer? Dry camping? Then you will want large tanks. Full hookups? Then smaller tanks in place of larger floor space might be a better choice. You and only you can decide what is best for you.
