Let's be real about it ... Should I just trade for a 250?

[QUOTE="970rap, post: 1531349, member: 42078"] This has been touched upon, but you really don't need so much stuff/weight to go camping. I have never understood the appeal of a RTT beyond the fact that it looks cool. The infrastructure for it is too heavy (in general) and too permanent (you don't take it off between trips right?), putting me on a ladder at night isn't ideal (I'll have had many drinks), and it immobilizes your truck once you get to where you're camping (isn't using your Raptor once you've set up camp part of the fun?). I am not trying to sound overly critical. If you like how the Raptor looks and drives then just know you don't have to get something more heavy duty to do the things you want to do, you just need to reexamine you how do it. I take my family of 5 remote car camping on the regular and have never had a payload/weight issue. I would only consider moving up if I had a current/planned reason to tow something the Raptor can't handle. Otherwise my mindset is making the shit I bring work with what I've got. That being said, it's understandable to do what you want to do. If RTT is your cup of tea and payload is ultimately the most important thing, then another truck is probably the better fit. It's all about priorities. [/QUOTE]
