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.
Use the clicky provided to Fords spec sheets and use the 8200 GVWR HD package with 4800 RAWR with the 3.5 GTDI ecoboost engine.
I would look at 5th wheel trailers with 1500 dry/1800 wet pin weight with a 9k-10k GVWR max if your towing in flat country or 8k if your going to the mountains.
If your wanting a larger trailer you will have to move on up to a 3/4 ton truck. And yes you can have too much truck to do a job.
