The salesman is right. You will be much happier with a lighter unit or upgrade to a bigger truck. We had an F250 V10 with a 4.3 RAR and larger headers for power. We bought the current fifth wheel and had air bags installed to help with the load. Flat towing was no problem, anytime we had to tow any grades we blew the lines on the air bags, not to meniton that the engine sounded like it was going to come through the firewall and all that with poor fuel mileage - 7 - 9 mpg. Finally could afford to upgrade to a 1 ton F350 DRW Diesel. Never looked back and now look all around without white knuckles.
