Is there really a 1/2 ton towable fifth wheel?
Just got rid of my bumper pull and would like to do fifth wheel but the weights look over what I would expect.

Durango makes 5'ers with GVWR from 9000 - 10,500 pounds. with that said it really depends on what your 1/2 ton is rated for. For example Fords F150 range anywhere from 6000-12,500 depending on which tow package you buy.
I was going to mention the Durango 1500 and, now, Durango "Half-Ton" models as well as the Jayco Eagle HT models. The Jaycos all grossed around 9.5k lbs, last I looked. Very late model 150/1500s would likely handle them in certain configurations, but I know I wouldn't be happy with the situation for long. I'm sure there are other brands outside the "mini" campers (Escape, Scamp, etc.).
