Is it time to just give up the old truck?
You all have probably seen some of my postings in the past trying to figure out what my truck can safely tow. I would like to get a good quality used 5th wheel that is 28ft to 32ft range maximum leng...

You threw out a lot of numbers but I can't seem to find the trailer weight data.
We pull a 28' 5th wheel with a 3/4ton and are in the rated numbers. Generally, I would expect most 28' 5th wheels to be fine with a 3/4 ton (obviously still check).
BUT...18,000lbs would be downright scary. We helped a couple move a 37' 5th wheel inside a park (low speed and level). I thought we were going to break the springs at less than 5mph. I can't imagine hitting a big bump at 60mph.
