I have a 2014 26 SAB and truly like it. I pull the trailer with a 13 F150 Ecoboost (1840) with no problems at all. I researched basically all the lightweight "half-ton" towable 5th wheel trailers available in SW Michigan and found this trailer to be a nice size, well equipped, and reasonably priced. The pin weight is reasonable for my truck which payload can be an issue with many of the other trailers. Many of the trailers I looked at had a dry pin weight in excess of my max payload which I question how they can be half ton rated. I have 2000 miles on the trailer including a trip to Michigan Keweenaw Peninsula and the trailer pulled effortlessly. I did have some highway bounce or chucking going on initially but it was due to my initial obsession with keeping the pin weight as low as possible. You need to have 15-20% on the pin or it will not tow well. I had filled the fresh water tank and cleaned the front storage to well resulting in an unbalanced trailer.
