good info. i'm in the san joaquin valley in Calif. to get to any place like the lake or ocean we have to climb elevations up to 5000' or lower to get to the coast. So i guess much of the travel will be traversing hills. thanks, you gave me something to think about.
The 4.3 isn't going to cut it. You want a 3/4 ton truck with a V8. Your 5700 dry TT will be around 7000 loaded, with around 1000 lb of tongue weight. That might work with a 1/2 ton in the flatlands. With hills and/or mountains, you will need more.
