If I had the "luxury" of matching a not-yet-bought truck to a nice camper, I would ask the dealer how I could have the camper weighed - even if it cost me a few $$ to hire a truck to do it. Then I would add the weight of supplies (water, propane) then I would add the weight of "all our stuff" -
Actual weight of your camper taken over a scale, not sticker or brochure weights.
Then you will know what minimum payload capability truck to shop for.
Then you can start to work through the truck selection process from there considering pro's and con's of the bewildering array of pickup truck configurations. :)
