Well you never base towing/carrying ability on DRY weights!

That 5er has just under a 2,000# payload and a 15,500# GVWR. 2,000# payload in a 39' 5er is really easy to reach and even exceed.

You will be pressing a 350/3500 SRW, best experance will be a 350/3500 DRW.

Technical Specifications:
Length 39'-1"
Width 96"
Height 12'-8"
Dry Weight 13,580#
Payload Capacity 1,920#
GVWR 15,500#
Hitch Weight 2,950#
