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 ...
There's a recent long thread on 1/2t and FW towing; search for it. Yes, some smaller FWs can be towed with the right 1/2t (donn0128 is incorrect; he is correct about p-rated tires). Yes, you have to be very careful to not overload the FW. Your problem is the 5.0 motor and 3.55 axle that are very limiting. I towed an 8,400lb FW for years with an '04 F150, 5.4 and 3.73 axle. No problems on the flats but I never went mountain climbing.
