Seeking advice on towing vehicle
Seeking advice on a towing vehicle for a 5th wheel camper. I am looking at a 2019 Heartland Road Warrior 413RW I've only ever owned a small travel trailer that was 21' so my SUV was able to tow....

I don't know what that fiver weighs. But in general buy a 1 ton US brand pickup. The price difference is minor between the 3/4 and 1 ton. If you stay east of the Mississippi or in flatlands then you can get by with a gas engine. If you plan to go into the western mountains then you will be much happier with a diesel.
For a large fifth wheel you will want dual rear wheels for smaller ones a single rear wheel will do and is more maneuverable.
If you plan to stay on the pavement the a 2WD is OK if you want to travel on dirt roads (boondocking or exploring) then a 4WD. Tho you won't regret having a 4WD when you need one.
If you buy a new truck then get the hitch bed preparation. If you buy used you'll have to take what is offered. For hitches get a B&W or Pullrite.
