Actually, bigger is not better for us - I did have a plan to buy a Class A Diesel bus plus a toad but my wife & I decided not to go that route - we will stay as small as we can within reason. Big is not attractive for us at all - we are looking for the smallest possible setup that will accommodate us comfortably. This is the main reason why we are going custom as none of the small trailers currently available features what we want. I may consider a Cummins on 2500 but definitely will not go 1t trucks especially just for the possibility that I may need a larger trailer...
I guess my thoughts are not common... :)
The only difference between a 3/4 vs 1 ton SRW Rams is the rear springs - coil vs leaf. Everything else is identical. The RAWR is 6500 on the 3/4 vs 7000 on the 1 ton. The coils do ride really well unloaded and in my experience don't squat much at all under load. It's a lot more truck than a half ton but it still drives and handles really well. I think the truck feels a lot more manageable with the cummins because the power is so effortless. The Hemi moves along fine but just felt more labored to me when I drove it.
The F150 is a faster but again, it has more of a crossover feel to me. A negative in my book but maybe not to you.
