Age old question.

I have a GMC C4500 custom hauler by Monroe Trucks that I'm thinking on selling. Reason being the truck is just to big for me. My question to all my 5vers is what is the best tow pickup for pulling a 39ft 5th wheel ?

    If your open to Chevy, Ford, Dodge they'll all do the job. It depends on your weight. I learned the hard way and finally settled on a 3500 dually. What is the pin weight? Maybe the new 2013 Dodge Ram either srw or drw would do the job. They have a much higher payload and redesigned suspension and frame than previous years. They are my preference of course with the Cummins.
