I like the HT for 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks, and you could tow the Eagle, but would be maxed out. I just went to a used HT because I got tired of towing a 12k 5er with a 3/4 ton, and did not want to upgrade my truck. If you get the HT be sure to check the level height of the pin box to your hitch height, and you may need to have the dealer install a Correct Track, and 16" tires to keep from being nose high when hitched. If you check my other threads, you can see what I did to mine to level it out.
We are leaning towards a HT 291RSTS model with the options we really want. The must have are 50amp service 2 a/c units and the 16 inch tire option. Next would be the auto level system. I am disabled so the auto level feature would be very helpful for me. The rest such as fireplace and such are negotiable.
I to was a little concerned about the Eagle and its size and weight. The Eagle would not fit in my driveway at 37 feet and although my truck is rated at 16,000 for a 5th wheel I'd rather not get close to the limit. I just was not aware that you could add the 50 amp service etc to the HT line.
