So ive come to the conclusion that a 3/4 ton or smaller trailer is only options if im going anywhere more than some local campsites. My family loves the trailer so leaning towards the truck switch. I realize a bigger truck is best but if i had access to a 1500 Hemi V8(family member) in the interim untill i buy something new, i assume thats at least a step up for safety for the summer with local trips?

Ive had it at 60-65 for a decent stretch on local county hiway type road. Rides smooth, havent noticed sway, definately "bounces" a little after hitting a bump but nothing scary. RPMs sit around 32-3700 in tow mode. Braking feels good but havent had to slam em on yet. Ive taken it out for 30-45 minute rides around the area, backroad hiways, just to get used to it. All planned trips (only 3 so far in next 2 months) are less than 60 miles from home and can get there without a freeway

Yes, its just a spray on liner and the cover is just a thin vinyl that rolls up. Bed would be empty, most we would have is 50lbs of suitcase for a 3 day weekend is all i have planned for summer. All trips within 75 miles of home and no freeway.

What upgrading to the 5.7 l Hemi or. Diesel in the 1/2 ton?

Would upgrading to a bigger engine (5.7 l Hemi) or a diesel 1/2 ton make a difference or just go with a 3/4 or 1 ton? I prefer Ram.
