Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
My husband and I are fifth wheel wannabes. We are trying to sell our home first. For the past year we have done so much research on fifth wheels and are leaning towards Grand Design....34-38 ft. The truck is what he is undecided about. He definitely wants a one-ton diesel and looking at Ford and Dodge. He's been hearing good and not so good about both. Any opinions would sure help.
Both are good as is Chevrolet, just pick one that has sufficient capability to handle the load it will be carrying. There are fans of brands, but I think the big three are very nearly equal so pick the one you like with the confidence that you've made a good choice.

Mine is a King Ranch and it's beauty and a towing beast! I have a 15,000 lbs trailer and I have 1,600 lbs of reserve load on the rear axle and 8,000 lbs of reserve in both CGVR and GVW. Plenty of truck for my load. The exhaust brake is GREAT!! Should you choose a truck similar to mine you will LOVE it. Lot's of grunt and lot's of whoa! Believe me, both are important.
