My. 02. I had a 15 Silverado 1500. It pulled the rig in my sig just fine, but it's 23' and 6k gvwr. The "26'" bh is actually 29+ feet overall and 7- 7500 GVWR. Jayco 26bh and similar. Would my Silverado have pulled a rig like that? Probably. It had 1704lbs of pay. But with my family of 4, all our gear, etc, I'd have been right up against or over my payload limit.
I upgraded to the truck in my sig the very end of December 2016. I love it, if i can afford it, I'll always have a 3/4 or one ton truck going forward.
"Better to have and not need, than need and not have" especially when things go bad. Just my opinion.
