Which truck do I buy for my Travel Trailer?
Hi, I have purchased a new Coachmen Catalina 35' travel trailer that has a empty weight of 7300lbs. Keep in mind that I will never haul water because of the extra weight aND I don't see overy 1000lbs ...

2500 is the right tool for the job. Sure, you can turn a stuck nut with the small wrench and kill yourself doing it but it sure works a lot better when you go get the right tool. Diesel or gas of any reasonably new truck will be fine. I tow similar weight with a newer 2500 gasser through all kinds of mountains out west and it's fine. I did it before with a diesel and it was better but only slightly.
The game is so much more than power. The 2500 suspension, brakes and other things is night and day compared to a 1500. I'd opt for a newer (better mpgs) gasser as opposed to an older diesel where you're paying the premium for the diesel you don't really need.
