So I finally found the toy hauler I wanted, but first, since I haven't set up my signature yet, I will start there. I have a 1500 Big Horn quad cab, 4X4, 5.7 VVT Engine, 3.21 gear ratio and level 2 equipment package. The Trailer is a Forest River FSX260RT, weighing around 4700#'s dry. I picked...

Can you post a picture of your camper? I would like to see what it looks like and brand, since that may be my option.

That might be the way I have to go. Just all of the trailers that I have looked at, other than the pop up campers, are around 5100 dry. I could still just not fill the water tank and carry on, but if I got to someplace other than a campground, I will be stuck without water.

I'm hoping someone can clear up something for me about this 3.92 VS 3.21 deal. So, I understand the gas mileage difference, towing in a hilly environment and efficiency, however, I don't understand how two trucks, outfitted the same, except gear ratio, and one has a higher towing capacity than...
