I have always pulled a conventional bumper pull style RV. I am considering a 5th wheel. My TV is a 2003 F-250 Crew cab short box with the 6.0 diesel. I was looking in the manual this morning at towing capacities. According to this my max trailer weight without a 5th wheel is 12,500 and with a 5th wheel it drops to 10,600. Why is that?
Just look up and found the Ford 03 towing chart. Looks like 12,500 for conventional towing and 5th wheel 12,700 to 13,100 depending on cab and if 4X4.
