Keith,
The advice from Warpath is right on. You might also want to visit Kenworth and look at their T300s. Peterbuilt also makes an MDT. You should look at several diffferent MDTs before selecting one.
All MDT manufacturers will spec out a truck for you when you tell them what you will be using it for. Certainly you must have an air ride truck.
Engine size (horsepower and torque ratings) and transmission choices depend on how much you want to spend, and how fast you want to go up hills. Even with 300 HP models, you will still be climbing a 6% grade at 45 MPH if your towing a 15K travel trailer.
If you want more HP an torque, you might want to look at used late model Class 8 trucks. HP, torque, braking and overall performance is much better with Class 8. They are much less expensive and there is no 12% tax.
After looking at and driving these trucks, you may have several specific questions. Come back and post them here.
