Your scenario isn't what I was referring to.
Yeah I read all the trailering forums on this web and three other website trailering forums.
And its the same on all of them.
RV.net and Irv2 are the worse with those that jump right up and tell us a 1/2 ton truck cannot/should not pull a 5th wheel trailer period when some one with a 1/2 ton truck asks if there are any small 5th wheel trailers his/her truck can tow.
I follow this forum also and it's almost always a bigger 5th wheel where people have issues...or in some cases, they buy the lowest payload 1/2ton.
8,000lb loaded is at the low end of available 5th wheels and presumably he has the higher payload options for the truck...so nothing special about it and it didn't disprove that for "most" a 1/2 ton isn't the best choice.
