So, this maybe an "FW too far." I am enamored of the F150 ecoboost. 11,000 pound towing capacity, and from what I've read, plenty of power. The tricky part would be hitch weight, under 1200 pounds. On top of that, I want a built in generator. Are there any FW's that would fit the bill, or should I get real and stick to TT's? I did run across someone pulling a Keystone Cougar 315res with the ecoboost, but it had some mods, Timbrens and Hellwig helper springs.
Howdy Diver. Any of the smaller 5th wheels I have seen have no provision or room for a generator in the front. I suspect if one the generator may add additional weight to an already to heavy for your half ton hitch weight. Have you considered any of the Nash Brand. They are all pre compartmented for generator and are a sturdy built unit. All the weights of the Nashes I am familiar with would suit up nice with your dream truck.
Good luck with your hunt. Safe trails.
