Best truck for Northern Lite 10-2
My wife and I just ordered a 2020 Northern Lite 10-2 LE and are now shopping for a truck. I hoping to get some advice on which would be the best truck for our camper. We're planning a 1 year trip...

Our Bigfoot 10.4 is close in weight to your NL 10.2 Truck is used as daily driver. Average 14.5 MPG with camper on. I wouldn’t want to haul it with anything less. You asked for the BEST truck for your camper: 4x4 Diesel Dually
IMHO, I think your truck fits the OPs needs perfect.
When I bought my truck I had X number of dollars to spend on a pickup.
I had two choices. 1) A used diesel with 150,000+ miles or, 2) a low mileage gas.
I chose the low mileage gas and glad I did. My truck currently has 200,000 miles on it. Had I bought the diesel it would have close to 330,000 miles on it.
Diesels have more power and get better fuel mileage. I don't get why people constantly argue which is "better".
I'm more than happy with what I have. I'm pushing its limits with my camper but does what I want it to do just fine.
If I had the money and was going to travel cross country with my camper I'd pick a 1-tin diesel dually over a gasser any day.
Its always better to have more than you need and its sucks to not have enough.
I put 30,000 miles on my truck every year and I would hate to be driving a 1-ton dually.
If I was going to do a of of traveling and didn't tow a trailer I'd look for a Class C instead of a truck and camper.
