My suggestion is to walk into the fleet/commercial side of a dealership and do a locator on new Ford F350 or F450 DRW and the same for a Ram 3500 DRW. You will probably find a better match in inventory on the Ford side but better pricing on the Ram side. As soon as you locate the vehicle you want to purchase and arrange delivery, start making appointments for ordering and installation of the truck frame tie downs that will anchor the camper using spring loaded turnbuckles. Between turnbuckles and tie downs, this cost is close to $1500 in parts plus the labor. You will also need a rubber bed mat to keep the camper from sliding - Since it does not sound like you will towing, you do not need a special receiver hitch, extension or extra wiring plug on your truck.
As I posted earlier, you do not need a diesel to carry the camper. Cab size is up to you and can be standard, extended or crew based on what you wish to carry in the truck and how many people are traveling. Do not get the MegaCab short bed DRW from Ram since this will be too short for the Host Mammoth you want to carry. The rest of the truck choices in DRW are all long bed.
