To the OP, so you are saying only about 125 miles annually that you will pull the 5er? I would go with the half ton Ford and not worry about it as long as you pull nothing larger. Drive no faster than needed. Keep your load down in the trailer. I am not saying its the smartest thing, but a doable situation. Here is the towing guide for 2015 F-150: Clicky
How would stopping be different? I'm talking Travel trailer vs. 5th wheel. Trailer weight is trailer weight, correct? (I didn't see rhagfo's comment when I wrote this).
Here are the specs on my 5th wheel:
Dry hitch weight-1,480 lbs.
UVW-6,740
GVWR- 10,000 lbs., (which I don't believe I'm ever close to that weight).
Plus I would most likely add Timbren's to the truck as well.
