New to the camping world and I purchased a 2010 34' Flagstaff that weighs around 7000#. I am needing to purchase a new truck. I will be pulling it maybe 6-10 times a year pretty close to home (200 miles) mostly but once a year a two week journey on longer trips (1k-2k miles). I have had various opinions of trucks to buy from a 250/2500 with diesel to 250/2500 gas but others say 150/1500 is sufficient as they now have towing capacity around 10k as long as you get sway bar, load balancing hitch, etc. Couldn't I get a 150/1500 and if i didn't like the ride to add another spring in the rear? I am looking at gas mileage in the larger truck to be around 12 mpg with normal driving just tooling around home for 90% of the time and with a smaller one, I can get around 20 or more. Thank you for your time and assistance.

The very best choice will be the 2500 Ram with the 6.4L Hemi with the coil spring rear suspension. The new 2500 is a game changer.It will be more stabil than all the other trucks. I would reccomend getting the 20" wheel package. You will love the truck.
