If you have at least a 3/4 ton truck, I think you will be much better satisfied with a 5th wheel. I've had several of both, and in my judgment, there is daylight and dark difference between them.
Have also had both, but between the dark and daylight - there's other considerations:
A TT doesn't require a pickup for a tow vehicle.
(Ex: Suburban would be fine.)
So - do you need a different tow vehicle?
If you breakdown - need a friend to give you a tow?
Almost every "serious" vehicle has a receiver.
*Not* every pickup has a 5th wheel hitch in the bed.
Towing a 5th - you "loose" the majority of your pickup bed for toys or?
Plus side for 5th wheel - besides the living space over the hitch and bed of the tow vehicle.....compared to a TT, towing really *IS* as different as night and day!
Towing a 5th is a "breeze" - as compared to the one you get when a semi passes you while towing a TT...:W
Whatever works best for you - is what you need.
