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.

The problem with most 1/2 ton trucks is those small 3200-4800 rawr. The most in the bed payload even for the F150HDPP with the 4800 rawr is around 2500 lbs.
Now when we look at a 3/4 ton with 6230-6500 rawr their good for around 3000-3400 lb in the bed payload.
Those high 3000+ lb payloads Ford say the F150HDPP can carry is a gvwr based payload which when placed in the bed as hitch weight or a truck camper will overload its small 4800 rawr/wheels or rear spring pack.
Now if the subject is a '00-'06 1500 HD GM it has those big 6000 rawr good for around 3000 lb gvwr payloads or rawr payloads.
