Too much for the truck. Your first mistake is listening to dealers.
Did he say the dealer said he could tow the fifth wheel trailer with half ton truck?
Forest Rivers brochure advertises that unit as being for "light duty" trucks. Likely the dealers folks were running with that.
The term "light duty" is quite subjective. My Ram 3500 DRW has a giant emblem on the side that says "HEAVY DUTY", but in terms of trucks, its actually classified as "light duty". My Aisin transmission is advertised as being a "true medium-duty transmission". So why would you put a medium duty trans in my "heavy duty" truck? Oh the conjecture...
If FR says "1/2 ton towable", well that means quite a bit more. But they didn't. Since "light-duty" is defined as everything from a compact truck to a 1-ton, they're pretty well covered.
