If you go with an enclosed trailer, then I'd step up to a 3/4 ton. Gas mileage will suffer greatly, so then a diesel may be in order...

There are so many factors to think about, and not just what you plan on doing this year but for the next so many years. Do I want an enclosed trailer, sure. Can I afford on right now, no. So do I look for a truck that will pull the enclosed trailer because I "want one and hope to get one".
grumpy is just sitting here laughing at me while I try to decide what I want to do. And he said "Boy I bet some of the guys wished their wifes had these problems". I think some of them do.
