QUESTION - Should I buy the new truck?
We've been trying to sell our travel trailer for a month now, and no one is biting. We're selling it for a list of reasons, but a big one is that it basically maxes out my 2015 1500 on both payload and towing capacity, and it's a beast to drive with (it just acts as a big sail). I'm tired of white knuckling long drives.
So now the wife tempts me with "why don't we just get a bigger truck"?
I nearly fainted. I think I said "giggity" out loud, involuntarily.
We JUST paid the 1500 off. But since it's her idea.....
I start looking at 2500s, and we can definitely afford it.
Now the real question - will upgrading to a 3/4 really be that different when pulling a travel trailer? For those of you who have trailed the same stuff with both 1/2 and 3/4, what were your experiences?
