Heavy half pickup
We are going to retire in 8-10 months and become fivers and would like to know if the half ton/ lite series 5th wheel with gvwr's of around 10,000 are truly towable by a half ton pickup? D...

But do you want to? We just got rid of a 24.5 ft lite 5 er. Our 1/2 ton was not happy towing it. Even read it could haul 8500. Wrong!
How well a given tow vehicle can tow a given weight is highly subjective. I just completed a 8,000 mile - 8 month towing trip with my 2011 Silverado Crew Cab w/the 5.3. Sometimes it "wasn't happy" going up some grades (5,500 pound travel trailer) but completed the 8,000 miles without a single issue.
