I've decided on the RAM 1500 Quad Diesel with 3.55 gears with anti slip diff. Tow package included with tow mirrors. I test drove one and it was a great ride. I am in the process of negotiating with dealer to order it with delivery in August. Payload 1600 and trailer cap is 7950. Next step will be ordering a Rockwood minilite 2503S in January for delivery in March-April. Thanks for all the feedback.
you won't go wrong with the tow package. Those mirrors make a huge difference and when you aren't using them they fold in 90 degree.

jd48, do you use airbags to level the truck due to the tongue weight.
Don't waste your money on airbags. Get a weight distributing/ anti sway hitch. Being inexperienced at travel trailer towing I set up my new Silverado with air bags figuring that would be all I needed. Found out after I bought my 2702 Rockwood that I needed the hitch because the air bags did nothing to stop sway. Went with an Equalizer which makes towing a pleasure instead of torture. The air lift bags are nice to have but @ $400 I doubt I would have bought them if I knew.
