Towing capacity
I'm looking to purchase either a 5th wheeler or travel trailer and I'm not sure what the towing capacity is of my truck. Here are the specs for my truck. Thanks. Vehicle Name ...

Read my lips.... no fifth wheels with a f150/1500 series truck. Unless it is 20 feet or less long. Its not a matter of towing, but rather a matter of loading. A typical fifth wheel will load approx 20% of its loaded weight directly over the trucks rear axle. 1500 type trucks tend to have P metric tires with very low load carrying capacity.
To prove my point, load your truck up like your going to go camping and drive across a set of scales. Subtract your scaled weight from the GVWR as posted on your drivers door post.
