I was in your shoes a couple of years ago. I looked for a year at all makes and models of everything. I had to decide if I wanted 2 drive trains to take care of, higher insurance etc.
As I looked my must have list grew and my list of I can't live with that grew as well. I had the engine on my vehicle blow so I had to get a truck for a 5th wheel anyway so that is when I got a 1 ton dually quad cab long bed diesel. I could then get the 5th wheel I wanted and not have to worry about whether my TV could pull it or not safely.
Take your time, look at every model available to you so you can make an informed decision on what you want and most of all have fun going through the process.
