What does your girlfriend think about driving a truck and trailer? You can ride the bike and you just freed up some payload. By taking your weight and the weight of the bike out of the truck you may have enough for a 5000 lb (wet weight, fully loaded) trailer. Might be cozy, but you get along well, right?
I have driven across Montana and through the Rockies with my motorcycle in a trailer and riding it. Riding it was much more fun.
As mentioned above a used truck may be a good idea given the size of trailers you are looking at. There are some good rigs out there that folks are letting go of due to milage and age, yet they still have a lot of pull left.
Good luck,
Stu
