Everyone here seems to say "make sure you get enough truck". So I'm looking at the new DRW F350/450's.
There is an alternative: Get less trailer.
You can find lots of roomy options in 5th wheels in SRW F250/F350 territory. Odds are when the kids are grown and gone in 12 years you'll want something different to really retire in anyway, both truck and trailer. Then you can change your residence to another state that is more friendly to large truck ownership.
I had thought of that. But we have three 6 year old boys! They have bounds and bounds of energy. They need space to run, jump, crash into walls, etc.
And my wife and I would like a trailer that can stay very cool even in the heat of summer. So it can't be a lightweight low R value insulation unit.
We need room to store my kids bikes, our bikes, their clothes, our clothes, and all the other stuff a family of 5 needs. And lest you get the wrong idea, we actually travel light.
