You first need to figure what your RV plans look like. What % of the time are you going to be traveling in mountains, flat roads, freeways, county roads, east coast, west coast, south west areas, etc etc. Rank the areas by %'s. These %'s will give you some real life experiences from which to base your choice of a truck. All things being equal, my choice is to have more power and towing capacity than I actually need. IMHO
