RAM 3500 DRW 4x4 crewcab diesel
Hello, I'm going to buy a truck camper, and planning to buy a new truck to carry it. I was looking at the above line of vehicles for their payload and frankly I like the way they look. Origi...

So for my purposes, a TC, it sounds like diesel isn't strictly necessary. But for more long term flexibility, and durability, and the ability to throw a trailer on the back along with the TC, or to switch to a good size 5th wheel in the future, I think diesel is the way to go. Shout if you disagree becase it costs $9000 more!
And it sounds like if i get the diesel, I can do absolutely fine with the 68RFE. I can do more with the AISIN but it may not be worth the $2800 upcharge? I'm struck by the immense towing capacity of this set up > 30,000 pounds.
I am pretty set on the DRW. I would prefer to drive SRW, but payload makes DRW no brainer. With a TC on top it should do fine in the snow. Without the TC I'll either pull off two wheels in the winter or air down or get... yikes... 6 snow tires and throw some weight in the back.
What other options MUST I get? I'm so confused. I can't even tell what I get when I move up from Tradesman to SLT to Longhorn to Laramie.
