Welcome to RV.Net.
Fred said it well. Some people will tell you to look at 5th Wheel first. Than get the Truck. You will know the Weights of the Fifth wheel and get the correct truck to pull your trailer. At 12,000, to 14,000 GVWR your looking at F350/3500 CC 4X4 DRW, that's what i am looking at, for towing Stability. Depending which brand of Truck you would purchase. I am searching myself. Best of luck in your search,
Scott
