We have a 2WD Crew Cab F250 with a payload rating of only around 2300 pounds. We had very few 5th wheel to chose from, that is if we wanted to stay within the trucks payload rating. I decided we need a dry in weight of 1300 pounds or less, and pack light, if we wanted to stay within trucks payload rating.
Ended up with a 28 foot 5th wheel. When we decided to go bigger, if we wanted to stay within trucks specs, our only options were TTs. We currently have a 37 foot TT.
Having said that, we are at an RV psrk in Tucson for the winter. It just amazes me what people tow with 250/2500 trucks. Some of the biggest 5th wheels in the park are towed with 250/2500 trucks.
