John, even if that was true here, my point was that for us short haul, 12 times a year campers, even at the same initial price it wouldn't make sense to me when I could get a half ton that rides like a car, is basically loaded and get's great mileage.

I purposely bought the truck before upgrading campers so I wouldn't buy more than I could tow. Didn't really want one even as big as I got but I made the mistake of bringing my wife with me when camper shopping
