Go big or stay home!
My thought would be to go ahead and get a diesel-powered one ton dually long bed with a 4.11 gear ratio - even if you have to order it because:
1. It can safely pull anything, unless it’s a house.
2. Long bed means no slider hitch, bigger fuel tank which will give you more range and fewer white knuckle fuel stops.
3. The 4.11 ratio and engine brake will make mountains fun.
4. No one will be able to tell you that you that don’t have “enough truck” and you can quit worrying about all those pesky ratings and numbers.
5. If you later decide to trade up to a larger RV, you won’t need to trade trucks.
Whatever you decide, best wishes and happy trails! Phil
