Got a quote today. Tire guy informed me the same info I keep reading....I'm going to hate the unloaded ride. He showed me his most aggressive tires too. Not super impressed, but I get it, these tires ...

Not super impressed, but I get it, these tires are for carrying a heavy load. Tire guy sales to a lot of local companies like the boom trucks and others who venture a little offroad.
So my question is....is the ride going to be that horrible? He was telling me to run two sets of wheels and tires and swap them out. I commute 14miles one way and next year, will be more like 30 miles when move out on the property.
I hate giving up my ability to air down and venture offroad a little...but I need the carrying capacity. We use our TC enough that swapping tires just really isn't feasible.
My only other option is to move to a dually. Although I don't see airing that beast down won't happen either. Found a 2012 that will work in my price range too....and I can move my tuner, and torklift junk over to the "new" truck.
Am I going to regret this? $3400 OTD is not a light decision.
Unless I missed it...I haven't seen any weights posted on your rig. I can't imagine why you think you need to run 19.5' for a non slide camper?
This is probably one of the lighter weight campers out there, what makes you think you need to run 19.5's?
