I tow a light, 8500 lb cougar 5th wheel with a 2500 Ram. The truck only has a Hemi but is more than enough power for this 30 footer and we season between Pa and S. Texas every year. I always had 5th wheels and at one time decided to get away from diesels and duallies and downsize to smaller travel trailers. I couldn't find a floor plan we liked that was under 30 ft. but found it in the 5th wheel so we dumped the TT and went back to the 5th wheel.
When hooking up, I have a plastic two step stool that I use alongside the truck for hooking up the hitch which is so much easier and fewer steps than loading Sway controls, equalizer and chains. Add to that the ease of handling on the road and its a no brainer for us.
