First time poster, who really appreciates all the good pointers found on these forums. I have just recently retired from the Army, and am starting to plan the next phase of my life. Will be basing out of SoCal, but ultimately want to spend at least a year or two camping and surfing somewhere between San Diego and the beaches of South America. I really want to purchase a Toyota 4x4 Double Cab Long Bed and an aluminum frame pop up camper from FWC, ATC, or Phoenix, but am concerned about what the weight of the camper will do to the truck over the long term, so have been thinking about a Tundra Double Cab or similar 1/2 or even 3/4 ton truck. Hope to keep both until the DMW tells me I shouldn't be on the road anymore, so don't want to buy a truck only to have to replace it in 3-4 years. Any advice from someone who has been down that road (literally) would be greatly appreciated.
