Easy solution... Keep the 1500, and buy a 2500 in addition. Join the multiple GMT400 club.
Hah, I can just see my wife rolling her eyes now...

Why not just a 1 ton and be done? It's better to have too much truck rather than not enough.

I don't understand what you mean by "that much truck". Physical size is the same but you get forged A arms, bigger brakes (a lot come with hydroboost) full floating rear end and heavier springs. These are simply stronger components and therefore rated to carry more. I could be wrong but I believe that the frame is also stronger. The difference between a 1500 and a 8 lug 2500 is huge but 8 lug 2500 to 3500 is minimal until you upgrade that camper and your over CGVWR and have to start over with yet another truck.I really didn't want THAT much truck... I will only occasionally tow, I just wanted to be safe while doing it. I would have my son, at the least, riding with me.
