Fifth wheel would be in the 8500 to 9000 lbs range. For yucks, I'd like to know what people are getting, mileage wise, pulling a fifth wheel as opposed to a travel trailer in the 6,5,00 lbs range? Any insight would be helpful. Thank you.
I will disagree with the above posters with one condition, you are sure the fifth-wheel you get will be at the weight you are stating. If there is any chance of getting a larger fifth-wheel go to the 3500.
Now for the fuel mileage, when towing our fifth-wheel with our 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel we get right at 10 mpg. Our weighs 10,600 empty.
