Good reasons NOT to go with 5er over TT....

My Ram 2500 is capable of playing nice with a 5er up to 11,500. We can have the same floor plan with a TT, minus interior stairs and the big basement and pass through. Given the difference between a 30' TT and a 30' 5er, is there any good reason to go with the TT rather than the 5er?

I guess what I'm asking is if there is any advantage to a TT over a 5er if the TV can both haul and tow the 5er? I see the TT being longer for the effort, and the 5er being shorter and more maneuverable.

If one can haul a 5th wheel hitch, is there any advantage to choosing a bumper pull instead?

  • There are many advantages and disadvantages, I would never own a 5th wheel and have plenty of truck for it.
  • Please.

    Sorry for double tapping on pre-existing threads.

    Thanks for any link you offer.
  • If you want to carry something like an ATV or motorcycle in the bed of the truck, you're not going to do that with a 5th wheel.

  • I have many links to posts about comparing the two, if you're interested. There was a thread just recently.
