F250/MONTANA 5ER

Maybe... need more info on the truck.

Likely you have 2000-2500 ish lbs of payload. Likely you will be overloaded. Pin weight on that fiver can easily be 2500 lbs.

We pull a 2006 Keystone Montana 3400RL with a 2003 F250 7.3L D 4WD LB Lariat. Had to add airbags to level out the load. Pulls the 5th wheel as well as a 2003 F350 with SRW. Have made six round trips AZ to WA and all has worked out well. Would I recommend this configuration to others?? NO ..... but we purchased the truck first to haul an equipment trailer using the Receiver hitch. Had we thought we might haul a 5th wheel we would have purchased a 2003 F350 SRW to get more payload. Other than that we really have no regrets. I don't know how much the 1997 F250 7.3L has in the way of reduced towing capacity vs the 2003 F250 7.3L but that needs to be considered. Adding a supplemental transmission cooler is advised and considered mandatory over the factory issued transmission cooler.

Yes, but that's not what you need to be concerned with. Big question is do you have enough payload to handle the pin weight, axles, tires etc. What are the fiver weights?

P.S. This assumes your engine is a 7.3 diesel or big gasser. Anything less, no.
