Hi Turbotbird,
Welcome to the forum.
We recently upgraded from a 2005 FS2600. We cleaned it up real nice and put it on Craigslist. I was happy to see that the blast marks where derwud and I each electrocuted ourselves exactly one year apart scrubbed off the diamond plate and you can't even tell. :B
What kind of toys do you have? Do you need the longer haulers? We can comfortably fit five dirt bikes and all of our junk in the 2600.
These are really long bumper pull trailers. I don't think I would want to tow the longer 2800 or 3000.
What year is your truck? Is it one of the newer models with the improved tow-haul mode? If so you'll be fine with any one of these trailers. If not though, I wouldn't tow either of the two heavier ones. The FS2600 was just fine with my 2004.5 RAM 2500, but I wouldn't have wanted to tow anything heavier with that truck.
It's good that you already know about the recall & repairs for those units. If they were properly repaired, there shouldn't be anything wrong with them. I know the only thing wrong with ours is that all three of the detectors pooped out over time (smoke, CO, and Propane) and I just pulled them out and didn't bother to replace them. My wife's cooking tastes better without the smoke alarm blaring.
Good luck with your search.
