I'd pick the camper you want first. You didn't specifically mention that you were looking to carry a camper, but assuming since you posted this question in the Truck Camper forum, you're looking for opinions on that. All posts about a more heavy duty truck being better are spot on but, really take a look at what type/model of camper you want. My better half dictated that we ended up with a dual slide model (read HEAVY) which necessitated a DRW rig. We're very happy with the setup, but if you don't need/want that heavy of a camper, maybe a SRW unit will do the job. Keep in mind, upgrades all cost something and if you outgrow your lighter camper, your selection list will be shorter than if you went with a more heavy duty truck to begin with.
