Hi
My wife and I are ordering a new FWC in April. We plan to buy a new truck in March. We figured once we pick the truck we want, then we can order the camper to match.
Currently it is me, my wife and few dogs. We plan to have kids in the future. We plan on using the truck/ camper combo for long road trips and remote camping. Most trips will be 2-6 nights. The longer road trips will be up to 1 month long. We don't plan to do any extremely difficult off roading or rock crawling, but want the truck capable to get to remote camp spots and get down some moderately difficult roads (mostly in the Sierra Nevada). The truck will also be my daily driver.
We initially looked into a Tacoma, but we came to the conclusion that it wasn't large enough for a family, and would take a substantial amount of modifications to the suspension to accommodate the camper.
Next we looked at the Tundra, F150 and Ram Rebel. Out of all those the Ram Rebel seems to be the obvious first choice. It comes stock as the most cable off-road of the group and has the highest payload.
I recently started looking at the Ram Power Wagon. it seems like a pretty awesome truck. However, the pay load is the same as the Rebel. it does have a larger bed to accommodate a larger model FWC. But it also comes in at $10-15K more.
Currently, we are leaning towards the Ram Rebel. I was wondering if anyone else has input? Any suggestions or things to consider?
THANKs!!
