Truck for Eagle Cap 1165?
We recently traded an Arctic Fox 990 for a EC 1165. Besides missing my AF, I'm trying to figure out what bigger truck to put underneath this monster. I found a deal on a cab/chassis Dodge 5500 but it...

Remember that these chassis cabs will end up with a utility bed or flatbed with storage boxes. This will allow you carry many more items than you have now in a pickup bed. If you talk with the guys that are set up this way, they will tell you that they are running around 6000 lbs payload before towing.
I have 1500 lbs in surplus AGM batteries just waiting for a heavier truck...
^^ What Bedlam said. 6k + is normal, and the truck is still light.
Option; we have an air suspension. If you've ever ridden in a sprung truck that doesn't have any weight in it, you'll know why. We drop the camper most of the time in the fishing/warm months, and the truck is still comfortable to drive. A 5500/550 that is sprung and empty is not. Something to chew on.
