OP,
With what you just posted, having been their, done that, get an 8 lug 2500 crew cab short box truck.
You WILL have issues with payload if you out 6-8 of you in a 15 series suc/crew cab truck!
If it were just you and spouse, 2-3 smaller grandkids, a 15 series "might" work. My family of 6 was 700-800 lbs wi youngest being 2 months, to as much as 1200 with 4 adult sized teens in truck. Add in 750-1000 lbs of HW. Maybe a bike or three.... A 1500 is overloaded.
