Looking for a new trailer and narrowed it down to either a TT, or a 5'er from the same manufacture. They are nearly identical, same floorplan, options etc. The 5'ers MSRP is $41600 and I can buy for $31800 including destination, prep and PDI. The TT's MSRP is $39600 and I can buy for $26,800. I know all the pluses of a 5'er but the cost difference for nearly identical models is substantial especially adding in a decent slider hitch for my short bed truck. The TT is about 800 lbs lighter but both are well below my trucks ratings.
Question: Is it worth splurging an extra $5000 + slider hitch ($2500 installed?) to get the 5'er with all else being fairly equal between the models?
Once you have towed a 5er you will never want to tow a TT.
