Wife fell in love with 5th wheel...I have an F150

Have been looking for a bit larger TT, something with a rear living or rear entertainment, also, desperately need an 80" bed! Ruled out Outback TT's even though we really liked those, hitch weights...

Do you like walking on a tightrope? Add the UVW and NCC to get the gross vehicle weight.

Compute the dry pin weight percentage with the figures supplied and then apply the percentage to the GVW.

Most of these trailers, I looked at their site, seem to be really pushing the limits of a 150.

Don't forget the weight of the 5th wheel hitch, which if a slider can be several hundred pounds.
