OK - thanks everyone. I now have a new truck: 2019 Silverado 3/4 ton Diesel. I think it won't have a problem with my puny 1400# camper...LOL! (We own a used-vehicle dealership - the diesel pulls our car hauler trailer much easier)
And speaking of vehicles - we were at our local dealer auction - I had my choice of several 2019 3/4 ton diesel 4x4 trucks: at age 67, 5'5" tall and still pretty agile - I could NOT climb up into the F-250 (I would have needed running boards). It was ridiculously-tall compared to the others. The RAM that we liked had some sort of a drivetrain issue, so despite the nice features not found on the other similarly-priced trucks - we walked from that one. (I know diesel-lovers like that loud clattery Cummins - I'm not a fan). Then I climbed into the Chevy - and just like the story of the Three Bears - it was JUST RIGHT. I liked the perfectly-flat rear floor when the seats were flipped up - more storage for stuff I don't need to put in the camper. I know this has nothing to do with my original topic - just passing along what I discovered - when you get into bigger trucks - the Big Three are quite different!!
