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.

Many tow that kind of weight with 3/4 ton's, and say it tows great, not sure what that means, all aspects handling ,stopping etc, not just the ability to pull it.


I tow similar weights with a 1 ton , and would not want to tow with a lesser truck, many claim the one leaf spring difference between the 1 ton ,and 3/4 ton, but fact remains the 1 ton has a higher payload capacity. I guess add some airbags ,and everything will be great.
