I plan to purchase a good long lasting truck which can pull a 15000 ton RV - a 5th wheel like the Montana/BigHorn.
I have been debating for a while and not being able to make a final decision on getting a 2500 gasoline versus HD diesel truck or going to the 3500 diesel and lose the small mileage advantage of 2500's completely (18-20MPG) . Also short-bed or long-beb ????? And what rear axle ratios ...... You see why I am so CONFUSED....too many variables ....Any thoughts?
I will be using the truck for city runs mostly and towing maybe 5-6 times a year. But it is extremely important I don't break a sweat when going up the hill if the truck is going to make it or while coming down a steep mountain.
Any advise from experienced RV people will be helpful.
