I'm the type of person who likes to research things to death usually.
I'll be in the market for a new truck here in the next couple of years and I eventually want to install a Four Wheel Camper on it.
My first thought was that I wanted to get a Tacoma, but I'm hearing now that having a camper shell on the back will be pushing this truck to the load carrying limit.
Obviously diesel would give me more payload capacity, but what else should I be looking at?
I need a truck that is a 4x4, and has 4 doors (2 kids, dogs, etc.). Also fuel mileage is an issue as well. M brother-in-law has a 4x4 Tundra that gets ~10mpg when loaded down for camping (no trailer).
Anybody care to entertain the conversation about which truck would fit best?
I'm open to Ford, Chevy, Dodge, and Toyota.
