I am purchasing a new Wildwood fifth wheeler and plan on towing with an F-150 Ford. Please advise as to pros and cons, and also how to outfit the tow rig as to powertrain, suspension (factory and aftermarket)products.
Check the payload capacity of the truck you are looking at and compare it to the LOADED pin weight of the trailer plus occupants of the truck plus weight of the hitch plus any other "stuff" you load in the truck.
Chances are MOST F150s are not going to have the PAYLOAD capacity for anything but the smallest fiver.
As the tongue weight of a TT is a lot lower than the fiver pin weight, you can TOW a lot more TT than you can CARRY a fiver.
