Dodge 2500 or 3500 for a Travel Trailer

Trying to decide on a Dodge 2500 or 3500 truck for a 25' travel trailer. I sure like the stability of the one-ton trucks, but getting around town might be easier in a 3/4 ton.

What's your opinion, please?

Thanks

    Get the SRW 3500 , there's no reason not too. The 3500 won't be any wore around town. A dually would be a bit wider but no big deal, I drive mine anywhere.

    Easier? What are you talking about. A 2500 and 3500 are the same physical size. A dually has a fat rear end, but unless your planning to upgrade to a large fiver a dually is unnecessary.

    I'm 22 feet and 5,100 pounds. My Tahoe is fine, so I can't believe a 2500 wouldn't be good for a 25 foot TT.
