New? You will find that heavily loaded 150/1500s are really expensive. A moterletly loaded 250/2500 is a much more capable platform for about the same price. Ram Hemis seem do really well as do Fords 6.2L gas motor for towing up to around 10,000 pounds. The trade off with a 2500 is a bit rougher ride. The benefits are stronger frame, tires, wheels, axles, springs, brakes etc. Not to mention better resale value down the road.
How many bodies do you carry? 2? An extended cab is probably OK. Crew cabs will allow more i side storage and more bodies in seats. Long bed, short bed? Another long debate. Short bed if your concerned about driving and parking. Long bed for more in bed storage. There is no right or wrong, only what your comfortable with.
