can my truck pull my RV?? newbie
just bought my first 5th wheel camper because I am relocating to a town with essentially no rental houses available! the dealer said my truck would tow it with no problem but now I'm starting to worry...

These are some of the truest words you'll ever hear. I suspect that the vast majority of RV dealers out there grossly over estimate what brand x can tow based on the manufacturers ratings. And that they do it time after time just to move a unit (to shorten up those days to turn numbers). I recently witnessed a new top-o-the-line Harley Davidson edition F250 diesel pull off a lot with a big new 5'er and it was flattened. The dealer should have never set those folks up with the combo they had. I should have taken a quick picture. The old phrase "go big or go home" comes to mind when choosing TV.
