All of this means nothing if you're not happy with the floor plan and options you want based on the type of camping you want to do.
Do you need 40' of trailer and a 1 ton truck to long haul it once a year? You might find that beast of a set up a pain to weekend camp.
Now, the 3/4 ton and 1 ton have the same drive train so the only difference is the payload. fuel economy should be negligible.

I picked my truck based on the 5th wheel I wanted to tow and the Max GVWR of 10000 lbs. When I found it I bought it.
Yeah I’m really trying to do two things at once and that’s my error. I’ve just started looking at campers more seriously now though. I thought knowing the vehicle capabilities would help me pick the camper. I’m going to be in the truck much more than the camper and that was another reason I was focusing on truck first. I know I won’t get a dully. I just have no desire. I also have no desire for a 40’ camper either. I’d be fine in the low 30’s max length.
