Maybe I should look more at the 1 ton. You can get those in a crew cab short box configuration, correct? What sort of curb weight difference is there? This will be camping/hunting truck, and while I don't expect an 8,000 lb diesel truck to be a limber offroad vehicle, I will need it to handle some rougher forest service type roads. One thing I like specifically about the 2500 is the coil springs which should flex a little better than the leafs in the 3500. But I also don't want to limit myself down the road.
Edit - I looked at inventory at the local dealers and none appear to have a crew cab short box 3500. I could technically fit a long box in my garage but I don't think I want to drive something that big on a daily basis, let alone try to coax it down a narrow forest service road.
