Can you really tow a fiver with a 1/2 ton?
Jayco says these fifth wheels are "half-ton towable":

They seem to all be < 10,000 lbs GVWR.
I'm looking at an F-150 with 5.5' bed and a tow rating of 10,700. Though an F-150 can go up to 11,600.

Is it insane to tow one of those fifth wheels with this truck? (Both in terms of bed length and towing capacity).
I plan on taking trips that involve many, many hours of driving, but need the truck to be a daily driver, so am trying to find a balance.
