You haven't gotten it yet? Take the dive, you won't regret it. Get the navigation, it works well. It also has nifty features like fuel availability and prices near wherever you are. It shows upcoming rest areas, banks, repair shops, hospitals and even a live weather radar. The truck handles like a dream, and driving it is almost stress free. Watch the mirrors and don't let them stick you with something that won't fold out. You will really appreciate it when you have to climb a grade.

Nav is free, you may have to get dealer to upgrade it once in a while ( can be done your self... can't remember site at the moment) The only subscription fee is the Sat radio - SiriusXM you get it free for one year then have to purchase subscription if you so desire.
Found site for upgrading Nav, might be pricy, I prefer the dealer do it myself. http://navigationupdates.com/ram/
The Nav is great, even shows oil field lease roads (which are private use roads) so no excuses for me if I show up late and try the ..."couldn't find it" excuse.

One quick note on the Ram navigation system, it is not c.d. based, but satellite based, so updates are not an issue. The U Connect, Sirius/XM radio, and nav are top notch. If you're planning on keeping the truck, you might as well get the options you can afford.

For a TT under 10,000lbs I'd go 6.4 Hemi 2500. You're in Florida and traveling to the southwest, that's mostly flat traveling. A Hemi would do great.

The payload in the Dodge 2500 is an impressive 3000 lbs or so and you get the new coil springs or possibly rear air suspension. The 3500 has (I think) about 600lbs more payload but it comes at the cost of going back to bumpy leaf springs. A 2500 is well within limits of what you need. Duallys and even 3500SRW are mainly just needed when you get into 5th wheels.
Take a 10000# TT - even at the maximum assumed tongue weight of 15% you still have roughly 1500# of room for people and gear in the truck to stay under the GVRW of a 2500.
