Sure.
We've pulled properly matched 5th wheel trailers with F150 (1/2 ton trucks) since 5th wheel trailers became popular. And we have those that didn't do their homework on the matching the truck/trailer weight numbers have a bad experience.
The OP says he is looking for a 5th wheel trailer under 25'
under 25'.
Here's several under 25' 5th wheel trailers to look at http://www.allencampermfg.com/upload/255%20RKS%208.30.pdf.
You want a F150 with;
7050 GVWR...4050 RAWR...3.5 EB...1800-2000 bed payload.
7600 GVWR...4550 RAWR...5.0...2000-2200 bed payload.
7850HD GVWR...4800 RAWR...3.5 EB or 5.0...2400-2500 bed payload.
Don't be fooled by Fords other super cabs/crew cabs 6xxx gvwr and those small 3800 rawr max tow advertizing. These are the smaller size F150 made for small TTs.
We don't need a 3/4 ton truck to pull a small 5th wheel trailer .....unless you just want one.
