I'm shopping for a 5th wheel and my wife and I want something on the small and light side so we can get into relatively remote places. Our truck is a 2001 Dodge diesel 3/4 ton 2wd longbed.
Would a hitch weight below or around 1,000 pounds cause problems like a rough ride either in the truck or for the trailer? Any other reason to be concerned about this?
My thought exactly when I got my F150. But I quickly realized it was too high to get back on the national forest trails I camped on. So I went with a small TT instead. Just a reminder in case you hadn’t considered that.
