I also had some options that were on my required list and I could not find the right truck without paying for many options that would have put the vehicle over my budget.
I originally bought the truck to pull a heavy tongue weight trailer and never considered that I would later be looking at fifth wheels or truck campers. The heavy suspension package that is on my truck was to handle the tools and parts I used to carry in the enclosed bed while towing my heavy toy hauler. Because of my insistence on particular options, it also has become a very capable truck camper hauler. In retrospect, I would have optioned it differently knowing what I want to do tomorrow but am very happy with what it still does today.
My next truck will have even more capability but will also be able to handle more diverse loads. It should have 10k lbs payload and 20k lbs towing capacity within its published ratings.
