If you decide on a trailer, you cannot go wrong with a 3500 dually with the biggest diesel offered. In other words, you can tow a small trailer with a big truck, but a 1972 Chevy Luv is worthless for towing anything lol.
Look, look, look, then look some more at every RV dealer you can find. Search the internet at every opportunity, there are more varieties of RV than breeds of dogs!!! Enjoy the search experience and don’t be in a hurry. If you hurry you will regret it.
My wife and I have been RV ing for over 30 years. Everything from tents to our current full time toy hauler. 45’ Jayco Seismic Ram 3500 dually…33,000lbs rolling down the road.
Good luck in your search, embrace the lifestye and enjoy the life!
Drug one up out of the archives eh?
Considering this topic and the forum in general are basically dead, it doesn’t matter, but you CAN absolutely “go wrong” with getting a dually.
There are multitudes of 5vers and every other type of towable that are med/large sized and perfectly suitable or ideal for a srw truck.
And just like a 1972 Chevy Luv is worthless for towing, a dually is worthless and a hinderance for virtually anything less than a load that requires the training wheels.
Not to mention the daily driving challenges of a truck that’s 2’ wider than all other passenger vehicles.
Right tool, right job. You can dig a 2’ deep hole with a Cat 345 but a 305 is far more appropriate….same applies here.
Yes my 2500HD carried about as big a load as the dually could carry . They said 1600 back in 2015 but now they say 13000 pounds. But the 2500HD is a lot smaller than dually and makes turns a lot easier only 4 tires to buy versus 6 for a dually but I loved the comfort ride of my dually. But I am glad I traded but I got 4X4 4 wheeel drive and it was nice getting me unstuck. I used it a few times getting campers out of mud and snow. Then when I got my farm it was great 2 wheel drive wouldnt do crap in the mud.
My small camper is 19 foot toy hauler, but my 1500 Chevrolet truck pulls ok. I am sure a diesal would be better but my camper only 5000 lbs and my truck can pull 7000 lbs. Thats the deal make sure ur truck is rated to pull your camper
