My dad just bought a 2014 CDT/Asin 3500 2x4 CC long bed Lariat SRW and has a payload of 4000#. It is more than fine for his 33'+ Montana.
Blanket statement for OPs big 5er:
If you are going to be full timing or on the road more months than not or travel mountainous roads a LOT, go with the 350/3500 DRW or bigger. If the camper sits at home most of the time and the truck is in the garage collecting dust, instead of miles, get a truck that is marginal, know its limitations and abide accordingly.
