How much are you willing to ?

I have an 2011 F250 6.7 4x4 crew cab shortbed. Sold the TT now in the market for a 5th wheel. What is is max load you would pull and still be very very comfortable towing. This ? includes pin weight. It is just me and sometimes my elderly mother. I don't bring a lot of******to clutter things up. I do not care about length just weight. I want to be very comfortable towing in all situations as well as having a very nice home away from home for my mother. So, what should my maxx weights be and be good for me as well as on my truck. Already have a new superglide installed. (18K)

    With a 3\4 ton diesel...mmmm I'd feel comfy at 10000 loaded I guess.
    Pin weight I'd say 1500 pounds.

    I think a mid profile 29 to 32 foot would be doable.
    All based on my opinion of course.

    Scale your truck ready to travel. Look on the drivers door post and read the manufacturers GVWR. Subtract your scaled weight from that. That is how much pin weight you can handle. Multiply that number by 5 and you will have your answer.
