Shopping the best truck to tow a 5th wheel
I'm so new at this and really appreciate all the answers I've received from this forum on my other topics. It's helped me make and change my decisions many times -- in search of the perfect (for us) ...

I really don't think it matters which brand you get. Buy the one you like.
My .02 - If you want to buy one truck that you will use for a looong time and maybe for your current and future 5th wheels, then get a crew cab long bed dually diesel and be done with it.
I have a dually diesel. There's more to a dually, then just the increased payload capacity. I pulled across South Dakota a couple months ago and the wind was howling the entire trip. My rig never gave a hint of any kind of instability.
I also know that I can pull just about any 5th wheel or camper trailer I could ever want with this truck. No need to upgrade if I want a bigger 5th wheel. And going up or down mountains is a breeze. I don't care how high the pass is because it just doesn't matter. I full time and I've been wandering around Wyoming now for about a month seeing the sights. Headed to Colorado in about a week or so.
Admittedly, Attila the truck is a pain in close quarters such as parking lots, but I'm now used to just parking farther out and taking up 2 spaces.
You will never hear anybody who owns one of these diesel trucks say they wish they had a gasser instead. In fact, I don't want to own any kind of gas vehicle ever again if I can get a diesel instead.
