I have a new 2021 Ram 1500 and Dodge says that the payload capacity is figured at the factory on a commercial scale with the truck and all fluids including the fuel tank topped off. No driver, passenger, cargo, tongue weight of TT, etc. which you then have to deduct from the payload capacity.

Like someone said the advise here is as good as what you pay for it. Having said that if it were me I would definitely decide what trailer I really wanted and would definitely meet my needs now and in the future. Of course it has to meet the wife's standards. Then I would by the truck that can easily handle it even if it meant putting off buying the trailer. Generally trucks are more expensive than trailers but they also generally last longer than trailers plus it seems like they get more expensive every year. In the end it's better to have to much truck than to much trailer.
If you figure out exactly what you want in a trailer you can order it. It will probably take a few months to get it so when you find out what the delay time is you will know when to order it and you will get exactly what you want. Sales for RVs where huge in 2020. Not sure what they are doing in 2021 or what they will be in 2022 but my opinion is they will fall off so prices may remain more stable or even go down in 2022 if demand falls which I think it will do.
Finally look at the full timers who own the trailers you are interested in. A lot of full timers have YouTube channels, blogs, and websites. See what they like and don't like about their trailers. And see what they are towing it with.2021 Imagine XLS 17MKE

Well after much thought and research, with the help of many folks like you, we bought a Grand Design Reflection 150 260 RD today and are in the process of ordering a Ram 3500 Tradesman XL Crew cab 6.4Ltr 6.4 bed and now I may have to work 3-4 shutdowns to pay for it, but we believe we have done good (the right thing) and LazyDays RV in Chicagoland Indiana treated us very well.

Great decision!! You shouldn't have to ever buy a new truck unless you just go crazy on your next 5er.
