Light 5th Wheel

Hi guys, we are considering a 5th wheel (getting near retirement). We are buying a F150 ecoboost for this purpose, I looked at diesels, too expensive and not real "in town" friendly. Sooo.. the ecoboost is the truck of choice. What would be some good choices for a 8-9000, pound 5th wheel? We would be camping the in cool temperatures sometimes too, so that has to be a consideration. Any advice? Thanks!

    Oh my gosh. I love the popcorn and soda. Where did you find that? Sorry to the original poster. Didn't mean to hijack your query.

    We have had great luck with our Rockwood 8280WS towing with a 2012 EcoBoost non-hd. Getting anywhere from 12-14 mpg towing. The only mod to the truck has been adding Roadmaster active suspension to the rear, which has improved the non-towing ride.
