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...

Do what we did and look for a fiver to match your truck. We have a 2000 f250 crew cab SRW shortbed diesel that we did not want to replace so we looked for used units with a max weight of 11k. The used Arctic Foxes in the under 30' range were just too heavy for us to feel comfortable, no matter how much we liked them! Eventually we found a fellow selling a 2007 29' Holiday Rambler Savoy SL in excellent condition. With a long deep slide and decent tankage it was a perfect compromise for us and our needs: there is enough room and storage and our old truck tows it like a dream.....
BTW, I had to spend $400 for a set of air bags, that's it, it tows fine without them, but the bags level my rig so the lights don't blind anyone......
I agree. I think there are trailers out there that will fit your truck The trailer in my signature is 31', full profile with 2 slides. It tows at 10,000# (empty tanks) with 1,800# on the pin. Maximum weight is 11,000#. If you use one of those new light weight hitches you could pick up a couple hundred pounds from your numbers.
