I need some help in determining what size truck I need. I have a 2500 lbs
slide in camper and will pull a 2000 lbs trailer with 2 horses, gear, and 50
gallons of water (or more depending on length of ride). Some people have
said definitely you need a 1 ton, dual wheel truck, others have said that a
3/4 ton standard wheel arrangement will do. I definitely want to go with a
diesel engine. The majority of my driving will be in the east, so no
extended mountains to cover. Thanks for any advice.
