If you are looking for a 30' travel trailer, you need to face the fact that you will need a 3/4 ton and live with the harder ride. The half tons ride nice, but just don't have the payloads for the larger trailers. This fall I had to trade up from a 2016 Sierra 1500 to a 2016 Silverado 2500HD. I loved the ride of the 1500, but don't mind the harsher but okay ride of the 2500 knowing that it hauls my trailer much better.
