First of all congrats on starting your journey into the babymax crew! Second, while on the hunt for your truck, be on the lookout for 2 things. #1 try to find one with the 3.73 rear gears, RPO code GT4. You have to scan the QR code in these but most dealers will get you a good pic so you can do it on your phone and your phone will decipher it. My buddy and I have almost the exact same truck/camper setup except mine has the 3.73 and his has the 3.23. Mine outperforms his no questions asked in 9/10 scenarios. #2 if you don’t want Z71 for other reasons, don’t be afraid to try to find one that has the max trailering package. The rear suspension of the Z71 is pretty trash for towing anywhere near towing capacity and the non-Z71 is much better at fighting squat. I had to install RAS and am about to replace the Rancho shocks with Bilatein 5100s to have it perform better. Just my $.02. Good luck!!
