FORGET the "PAYLOAD" BS numbers. ONLY reason the 14k GVWR is there is to keep the truck in Class 3 non Commercial for Insurance and Licensing purposes.

Your RAWR is over 10k, mine is 9,750# SAE rated with my 6k pin maxing that out. I tow a 24k DRV and I am at or within all ratings but the phony 14k number. Ask your self WHY is the F450 pickup in the same class and GVWR number???

Get a dRW Diesel, forget the 14k and buy whatever RV you want and be happy. All you need to do to be "LEGAG" is have the proper tonnage to cover the weight you have on your six tires.

Listen to those that done this for many years and FORGET the gasser as you will get so tired of crawling up the passes and have a tight spinchter going down them with out an exhaust brake. Also the Gasser will be screaming at you on every grade. Diesel will be a quiet controlled towing experience in all conditions.

Do it right do it once.

If you want to talk the best truck we can do that also.
