And there is the issue of functionality. My pickup has to fulfill a number of roles totally unrelated to recreational. But on that note, I prefer dispersed, dry camping. So not only the general stuff, but also extra water in truck bed (50 gal tank with pump), propane tanks, gasoline, gen set, parts and tools, etc. of course, all that not necessary for those that primarily use more modern campgrounds. Even with a 7K trailer, no 1/2 ton is going to be a viable option.
And really, that is where it is at. What one is wanting to do, where they are wanting to do it, how long at a time, etc. One has to factor all the variables.
