My wife finds the 3500 just too big and is not comfortable driving it. Then there's the nickel and dime Ram issues we have experienced that I don't want to mess with any longer.
I hear ya. Everybody's situation, wants, and needs, are unique.
Have you considered taking your loaded, vacation-ready, 27DSRL to a CAT scale to nail down some definitive numbers? Your tongue weight may be surprisingly lower . . . or higher, than your 975 lb. "assumption". Having that definitive number might make your final decision a lot easier . . . or harder, as the case may be.
Good luck!
