Lots of related questions need to be asked. Are you typically towing in the mountains? Do you want to mess with a WDH and/or sway control? Do you want a short bed or will you be happy with a long bed?
I'm from the 'bigger is better" school since as I have said many times I live where I need to go up a 6% grade to the 7-11 and I see tow vehicles on the side of the freeway any weekend I head for the mountains!
I'm towing 7500# with a DRW long bed, but because of that I feel no need for either a WDH or sway control.
I might feel differently if I typically towed in Florida or Indiana.
