I guess time will tell.

Even tho you say your not thinking of upgrading your camper I sure would up grade the truck to at least a 3/4 ton just in case. You start looking at half ton diesels your price most likely more than a 3/4 ton and also the numbers go down due to weight of diesel. Good luck on what ever choice you make. Later RJD

I do believe the new 2020 Chevy 2500’s have lower bed sides to avoid one of the issues you are talking about. Just one more thing to look at [emoji16]

Good point. The main reason for me looking at the 1/2 tons are the height of the bed rails. Ever since 1986 I've only owned 1-ton dually's (for my business), and my current 3/4 ton truck. Even had a 1965 F500 years ago with an 352 interceptor motor. Cool, powerful gasser!



I do like the bigger trucks.

I'll check that out. Thanks! It's amazing how trucks have sooo much variety now-a-days. Mind boggling...
