We are thinking about upgrading from a smaller travel trailer to a 5th wheel. Our TV is a 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500HD crew cab 4x4 standard box Duramax Diesel 6.6L 3.73 axle ratio. The GVWR is 9200 lbs, front GAWR 4860 lbs, rear GAWR 6084 lbs, GCWR 16,000 lbs.
We are considering getting an Arctic Fox 27-5L 5th wheel. Dry axle weight 7500 lbs, dry hitch weight 1500 lbs, gross dry weight 9000 lbs
I would like to get an experienced 5th wheel owner's opinion on this setup and the capability of our truck to pull that sized trailer. The 5th wheel is heavier than our current TT and I trust the opinions here over the dealership's. Thanks.
