One thing I didn't see brought up was the fact that the larger/heavier your rig, the fewer boondocking options you have simply because you can't get that rig back into many BLM or Forest Service dispersed-camping areas. And even when you do find an appropriate spot, actually finding it unoccupied may be a challenge because everybody else with large rigs wants that spot too.
In my experience most the time you will be in the rig on your own so any extra space is just coming along for the (expensive) ride. Kids love tents (And parents can put up with a lot for the sake of happy kids, at least for a while!) and tents are inexpensive, lightweight and fit into small storage places where they can lurk without cramping your style until needed. Throw in a lightweight tarp that can be strung up over the tent and create a 'covered patio' and you have a 5-star setup, for a couple days at least.)

Eh good point. But did you look at the specs?
Or was your advice just conjecture?

Walkdog, looking at the 2 5vers you proposed, that is exactly what your truck is made for. And really nice lookin trailers to boot.
The new XD diesels are pretty sweet. Half ton guys bag on them because the XD will out tow the best Mac daddy Ecoboost super duper towing package truck out there.
Diesel guys bag on them because they realize that this truck has more power than what they used to brag about and a Little tune would run with their $70000 Cummins dually. And the self proclaimed weight cops liken it to a 6cyl 1993 F150, "because it's only a half ton."
Sounds like you're planning to have a blast. Good luck........
So you are recommending he ignore the payload capacity of his truck?
