Learning,

You have 3 choices in trucks. Light duty, 1 ton and below, Medium duty, 450 through 650 and the HDT's which are the converted heavy haulers, class 7 and 8.

As far as which one you want, it's up to you. At this time there is little enforcement of weight standards for RV's outside of a major collision. As such you can get by with a light duty truck for a heavy RV, as long as nothing bad happens. There are quite a few folks who are doing just that and some are very vocal about it to the point of name calling and sarcasm rather than compliance with the factory towing specs in their vehicles.

You've been given a good source to start doing some research. You might also want to look at the laws in the state that you will have as your home or domicile state as that will give you the legal guidance regarding licensing for both the truck and you. The SKP site can help point you in the direction to look there as well for all 3 choices. Ask questions there and you'll get serious non sarcastic answers since folks know we all started out as a beginner.

Doing research now before you get the trailer and truck may possibly save you some serious money if you get a minimal truck and find it wasn't up to the task you had in mind.
