So someone said this is a heavy half ton fifth wheel. I'd be interested to hear which other ones are lighter?
I look d my truck up online and it looks like payload is just over 2,000
I've a Forest River Signature Ultralight that weighs 7900 lbs dry. I tried towing it with a 1996 12-valve Dodge Cummins and felt that was under powered. As has been mentioned, once you add water, propane, batteries, etc. you're rolling with significant weight over the dry weight.
I now tow it with a 6.7L one ton Cummins because the wife did not feel safe in the old rig. :D
