A true 1/2 ton fith wheel?

Before I recently bought my 18 Ram 2500 6.4 (2970 lbs CCC) I found a new 2018 F150 HDPP XLT about 40 miles from me. Marked down considerably. A rare find so I called the dealer to get the CCC. It was around 2300+ IIRRC. Figuring what I have for pin weight (1800 lbs), that would leave me 500 lbs and change. 280 lbs for the DW and I only leaves 220 lbs for water jugs, gas can, firewood, etc. I'd be maxed out. I went back and forth between the two trucks. I really wanted to give the F150 a shot but in the end I went with the 2500. More up side with the axle ratings. Downside is mpg's. Since I'm retired I don't do a lot of driving for work so buying gas doesn't hurt that much.
1/2 tons do work as long as you watch your weights.
Plus I got a crew cab and an 8' bed, something you can't get in an F150.
