Video of why 1/2 tons shouldn’t tow 5th wheels
Video clicky
Forum Discussion
BTBRV has been around for a long time.
He drives a F450 and does extensive reviews of different trucks and RV rigs.
He recently test drove the new Ram 3500 HD truck with aobut 30k as one of the many invited by Ram to test drive the new rigs.
If you listen to his presentation he does make some generalities, it's impossible to be perfectly specific because each truck varies based on its options. The 1/2 Chevy tow ratings compared to the 1/2 ton towable 5vr touched upon the marketing hype of the RV industry and how the owner must take responsibility to make sure his truck has the capacity.
My Tundra is rated at 9800 lbs.
Yet out 33' TT Outback Ultralight at only 7.8k pushed the truck around like crazy around the LsGrange area, Schulenburg area. When it came to towing my tractor it is at 10.6k.
Yet read the Tundra forums those folks brag about 5vr towing with all the rear end mods to do it.
Now I have a F250 6.2l and it does all it needs with ease and the long frame makes towing the TT a non-event, even the tractor.
So no it is not a troll thread nor a troll video.
Visit his channel and see he does a good job of reviewing so many products all related to trucks and RVs.
Really surprised a the shallow comments and lack of any wisdom.
