Big Horn 3260 towing

Need some realistic advice. Does anyone successfully pull a Big Horn 3260 5th wheel with a 3/4 ton truck?

I have a 2007 GMC 4-wheel longbed Duramax Diesel that currently pulls a 2013 Evergreen Bay Hill 320RS that has given my wife and me nothing but grief. The Bay Hill has a GVWR of about 14,100. The dry hitch weight is slightly over 2000 pounds. My truck pulls the RV easily.

According to the trailer sticker, the actual dry weight of the Big Horn was 11,600 pounds with a GVWR of 14,000, pretty much the same as the Bay Hill. When loaded,I would think the Big Horn could put a major strain on the hitch.

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

I have a similar size Big Horn 3055RL that has a very similar dry weight( published dry weight was actually 250 pounds heavier than reality)and an identical 14000# GVW...

I weighed the trailer when we took it on it's first trip. Ready to camp for a week, it weighed 12000 pounds with 2100 on the pin...We were pulling it with a 2004 Ford F250 CC SB 4x4. The truck did a great job of pulling the fiver(when the POS ran)with very comfortable handing traits. I would believe your DuraMax will do an even better job...

Buy the Big Horn...your wife will be happy...and so will you after you see how nice your truck pulls it...
