If you're going to buy a truck for a specific repeated use, leave some headroom. You know you'll always end up with a few hundred pounds of junk onboard. What if the next camper you really want is 1000 lbs heavier? Now you're looking at shelling out for a new truck too.

Every time I read a comment like that, I just laugh. If that were the case, everyone should start out with no less than a 450 truck. "what if", "just in case", etc.

Hyperbole much? I said 1,000lbs not 10,000 lbs.

It's about having payload to spare, and a little room for or unexpected developments. If you prefer to end up riding with 6" of squat turning 4,000 RPM once the wife and kids load all their 'necessities,' go for it. Planning to run maxed out from the start is a bad idea. Trailers don't get lighter after you buy them.
