I think you need to pick out the FW you want first. You need to know the dry pin wt of this trailer first. Then you need to look at GVW rating on this trailer. By figuring 20% of heaviest possible (GVWR) loaded wt of this trailer, it will give a close estimate of the highest pin wt.
You will likely not load it to the max, being a part time user, rather than a full timer. This means you will be looking at a pin wt, somewhere between the dry pin, and max pin.
Now you will be better prepared, to choose the proper truck, to fit the FW.
You cannot go wrong getting the 3500 Ram diesel. There has been good reviews on the Ram 6.4 gas, which may be a good choice also, if the FW you decide on is less than 12,000#s loaded to go camping.
