How can I calculate what size 5th wheel I can tow?

Can I tow it or not. I am somewhat new at 5th wheel camping. I need help from an unbiased opinion. When you talk to a salesman you get one answer and even the Ford dealers tell me different numbers...

Look at Jayco.com and under fifth wheels. They list the trucks that can pull their lightweights. I'm looking at a new 30+ footer that can be pulled by a F150 or ram or chev 1500.Not that I have one but they do make some lighter 5er's that can be pulled by a half ton. I need another bedroom and the lighter one gives me that and maybe more mpg.


Pulled yes, by a stripper and carried maybe by a stripper. Most that have got a 150/1500 to carry a 5er were max/max Ford F150's
