If you are a "handy" person, you can get a lot more bang per buck if you buy a used trailer. I know it is kind of scary as a first time buyer -- I took the plunge and bought used, and it worked out well. (I got my second one new because I wanted the dealer to make some major modifications, things I could not easily do for myself.)
You have quite a good truck, so your choices are pretty wide-open, within the tow rating of the truck. (Others will say no, you need a massive dually just to haul groceries. I do not agree, but that is what you will hear.)
The choices kind of depend on what sort of camping you will be doing. Will you be going long distances on long trips? Dry camping? Are the kids old enough to sleep in a tent?
Don't be discouraged by the learning curve -- it levels out after a while. Ask lots of questions!!
