This question reminds me of the question "How long should a man's legs be":):) Answer, "long enough to touch the ground:):)
Before I would offer an opinion on which truck to buy, I would ask "what do you plan to use the truck for??? If the answer has any connection to towing an RV around the 8K lbs. or above, I would narrow my search to at least a 3/4 ton truck and a diesel engine. I drive a 3500 Dodge 1 ton diesel with 6 spd. manual tranny towing a 14K 5th. wheel. That would be my recommendation or opinion. Options i suggest, replace the original fuel tank with at least a 60 gal. tank, install an exhaust brake.
Just my 2 cents worth:)
