The question has been answered and a truck bought it appears, but I will still put my 2 cents in.
I bought a 97 Dodge Ram 1500 in 98 before I ever owned a camper. It was going to be used just as a driver and occasional hauler of minor things.
I bought a camper 4 years later. While it will pull my small 19N Mallard, if I would have known I was going to be a TT owner, I would have went with a 2500, and the 360 engine versus the 318 (5.2 liter) 1500. Now in my opinion I'm stuck with the smaller TT unless I buy a newer/larger truck to pull it around with.
I used to always have 3/4 ton trucks and my dad used to say I was overkilling things, and I told him then you never know if you may need one.
Well dad rest your soul, you were wrong on that one. LOL
