[QUOTE="GTS225, post: 501252, member: 6678"] I'm (lightly) looking for a 3/4 ton, as I do pull a 5th wheel camper a few times a year. With the weight of the camper you have, I wouldn't go anything less than a 3/4 ton. I'm pulling a 4800# now, and that's marginal for a 2004 F150 with factory tow package. (Yes, I had to look for a bit to find one that fit the limitations of my already-owned pickup.) T'were me, I'd be looking at Ford or Ram, mid-to-large gas V-8 engine, 3/4 ton, extended cab, (NOT 4-door), 2 WHEEL DRIVE. Reasoning for me is that I don't go where I would need 4 WD, and I don't want the extra parts underneath to wear out or break on me. I want the 6.5-foot box, not that little short thing they put behind a 4-door cab that would require me to get a sliding fifth wheel mount. That being said, it's a bit difficult locating a 2WD pickup in Iowa. If I were further south, it woiuld be a fair bit easier. Just being picky, I guess.....Roger [/QUOTE]
