Truck for a 5000# travel trailer
This is my first post to this forum. I'm sure many of you have seen this type of question posted before, but I'd appreciate your input. My wife and I retired last year and bought a 2011 Gulf Stream...

You could go with a used 2008 or so Duramax or Cummins. They are in the ballpark for cost and tow like you want. The Ford 6.4 in the same years is very cheap right now because they get the worst mileage and have a bad reputation. My buddy bought one last year for $21k, mostly fully loaded. If you did that tho, I'd either buy an extended service plan that covers emissions or plan to rip off the emissions.
Outside of that, you can get a newer eco boost. Any of the half tons will pull your trailer, bigger engine the better. I'm partial to the Chevy 6.2. but to each their own. They won't meet your 2k rpms requirement tho.
