I think some people are answering this with what they would buy, but I think the best answer is determine what truck camper you want and right size the truck.
You could use a 550 DRW to haul a lightweight camper, but you'd also use a lot more fuel.
That is true if you compare the trucks with the same engine.
My 2007 F350 dually has about 15% better mpg than sold 2000 F250 with short bed.
I experienced it hard way, that if you plan to stay with truck campers for a while, you better start with dually.
450 is big overkill unless you haul 2 horses with you.
