So a year later, I have a new question. I've stalled on the TC search for the Dodge megacab, and knee replacement surgery had a lot to do with it. :E
I've had someone approach me about buying the Dodge 2500 in my sig. Now I'm thinking about what truck I would get if I were to sell the diesel.
Thinking a Ford F350 SRW with the 6.2L engine and the 8 foot bed would be a good way to go, both for continuing to pull the travel trailer but also for looking ahead to getting a TC. I'd still be looking at a low-profile TC, but having the extra payload and the extra length would take a bit of the pressure off of me trying to squeeze a TC into a 6 foot box on a 3/4 ton truck.
What do folks think about the Ford gassers as a basis for a (light) truck camper? I know the gas mileage will be less than the diesel, but the repairs for the '06 Dodge are starting to mount up and rust will continue to be an issue.
Thinking of trying to find a 2014/15 model year truck.
Would welcome all advice!!! thanks again.
