Hemi Vs Cummins for slide in camper
I have the 5.3L V8 currently and it produces 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. Granted my 1500 is 1000lbs lighter than a 3500, but it seems to do pretty darn well. Yes mountain passes can be a bit of work, but I just gear limit my trans to 4th and it does surprisingly well.- BeefCheeks

Hemi Vs Cummins for slide in camper
@dhay13 Agreed. Totally 100% ruled out Cummins on the 2500 - it only adds 300lbs over what I currently have. In fact, have ruled out the 2500 entirely at this point. After much reading and youtubing the coils on the 2500 create way more trouble than it's worth.- BeefCheeks

@sam darakjy I love the cirrus campers - some of the best on the market IMO - and I def won't be able to afford one after buying a new truck :( @Different Drummer thanks for the inputs and ideas. 2x4 is absolutely not an option for me.

Hemi Vs Cummins for slide in camper
I am fully expecting to add airbags or some other solution, probably even if I got 3500. I have the Roadmaster on my Silverado and it's awesome but obviously not an option with rear coils. I read through your posts, and it seems like the Timber Grove bags did the trick? still happy with them...- BeefCheeks

Hemi Vs Cummins for slide in camper
Thanks for the rapid feedback everyone. Some clarifications: Yep, already have the camper, its a very lightweight (all things considered) hard side made by Travel Lite. Done 6 or so big trips with it already. Fits in my 6.5' bed with the tailgate closed. My 1500 does surprisingly well with...- BeefCheeks

Hemi Vs Cummins for slide in camper
My wife and I purchased a slide in camper last year and I am looking to trade in my 15 Silverado 1500 for something more capable. I currently have 1713lbs payload capacity on my LTZ double cab. Camper dry weight is 1350, and wet weight is about 1600 or so. I figure another 600lbs in people...- BeefCheeks
