Our truck is a 5500..... 2 ton truck 2008, we bought in 2009, with the Laramie cab, leather seats, Power seats and power windows and all the extras, it pulls our big heavy 5th wheel just fine. Which weighs between 18,000 and 20,000 pounds. As I stated before it was a demo we found at a dealer out of our area. The truck cost $72,000 new and we paid much less. It had 5,000 miles when we bought it. We got $26,000 for our old 2004 Dodge truck with $42,000 miles on it. So we Got some off on the new truck, Do not remember exactly how much. But we paid around $40,000 something for our 2 ton new truck. Have been very happy with it except it is somewwhat rough riding when not towing. We do have an SUV we use during the winter in AZ. It stays stored in AZ during summer when we are on the road. /we are full timers for 8 years. RV-ers for about 14 years.
This is our 4th 5th wheel and our second traveling truck. We love this full time life. Great life.
We are very comfortable with our truck and trailer
