I agree with a 1 ton SRW, forget the 3/4 tons. You will just spend the money to upgrade to a 1 ton capacity. I also believe you should get the 4*4. If you don't like the life style it will be easier to sell. Where I live 4*4 is almost a must in the winter. Nothing more pathetic than a two wheel drive pickup with no cargo on trying to get around in ice and snow! I can see you buying the truck first as long as you buy a 1 ton, I just can't see you having a problem with capacity. I would also think if you buy your 5th wheel in the 2005 to 2011 range you shouldn't have a big problem with bed height. Of course if you have the truck you can check it out before you buy. JMHO
