I know you are looking at SRW trucks but also think in the long term that you might want a larger camper and some of the SRW's may not give you the weight carrying capacity. We recently bought an 2015 F350 dually and absolutely love it. The stability of the dually verses the SRW is unbelievable. We don't even know the camper is on there. We have a NL that is about 2850 dry but with gear, water, propane, batteries, etc, we are more like about 3800-4000. We could have gotten an SRW which would work for this camper but gives no extra room to grow. We looked at all three brands of trucks but personally liked the comfort of the ford. We like lots of the creature comforts and found that all three were pretty close price wise when got into those types of comforts. Good luck on finding the perfect truck for your needs.
Thanks for that. Yea that is something I have been thinking long and hard about. The problem is that this truck will also be a daily driver for us and a backup work truck. In order to be able to fund this adventure in our life we need to trade in our fairly new Toyota highlander. Given that we are reluctant to have to drive a DRW everywhere but OK with a SRW as we do it alot already. We know this will limit our future TC upgrades and are going to have to accept that fact. Hopefully we don't regret it....
