Best truck for Northern Lite 10-2

Thanks again for all the input everyone. I could never have imagined that payload capacity would be such a hard thing to determine!

In my case, however, it seems that a dually is preferred. However, I noticed that srschang alluded to having to deal with snow with a dually. Living in Quebec, snow is a given. Is a DRW problematic in the snow?

Also, on another topic, my driveway has a slope of approximately 8% downwards from house to street. I'm concerned that leveling the camper after removing it from the truck will induce bending in the jack posts as I raise the front legs, which I understand could cause jamming and be problematic for the jacking mechanism, etc. It seems to me that the only way to avoid this would be to build a ramp of some sort for the front wheels to back up onto such that the truck and camper are both more or less level before unloading the camper from the truck. Am I right to be concerned?

I don’t think it will be an issue at 8%. Just be careful how you unload it.
Not ideal, but unloaded camper in the woods a few times where it wasn’t very flat at all.
If the jack pads are visibly not in full contact with the “slope” I’d consider wedges or shimming up a good plywood pad.
Jack camper up until almost clear of truck bed and then just raise the front jacks up until level or near level front to back.
Camper will move up and away from the front of the truck bed.
Re loading the camper, you may need to keep the truck a bit forward so the camper lowers down and forward into position in the bed.
Don’t think I’d want to go much more than 8% though.
Building a ramp for the truck won’t improve the issue. Camper is still sitting on the slope regardless.
