Red Rocket,

"Honestly, you were given a good amount of information in the Tundra thread and now it seems you are only looking for someone to justify what you seem intent on doing anyway... happens on this forum a lot. Certainly not a very nice thing for me to point out but that is the way it appears to me. "

Seriously??? My other post was titled "Tundra payload" which is alot less than most 1/2 tons. So you are criticizing me the newbie for trying to get info on this expensive proposition? I have to buy a truck and camper and I will once I have all the facts. I am not an expert and dont pretend to be. My mind is not made up and this is why Im trying to get opinions from somebody who pulls a boat with a truck camper (so far I have no one who has come forward). That was not the gist of the Tundra payload post. I mean seriously.......To the rest of you guys I sincerely appreciate your help and you have been a huge help to me. Thank you.

It was the mention of not going with a 1/2 ton and recommending the 3/4 ton or larger was what I was referring to in that thread. Sorry about bringing it up the way I did as that really is the harsh reality. Certainly not trying to blatantly criticize you for attempting to get this info but it did seem as though you were fishing for justification... at least that is the way it came across for me. There are many posters that have come on this forum truly seeking justification for doing what they already have in their mind they want to do and it is not always a wise decision and I apologize if I read into your post what wasn't there. It is a touchy subject but guaranteed, no one says they have too much truck when it comes to substantial payload carry/towing.

Yes I am taking your guys advise and NOT buying a 1500 series. Now Im hoping I can do what I want with a 2500 series. Thanks much!

Good choice! You will be a lot more content with this path.
