Travel Trailer (bumper pull)

Time for a 250 or 350 end or worries.

Sorry what does TT mean?

I have no idea What the weight of the truck is.

Its a 2004 f150 4.6L super cab 4x4

With those numbers Im guessing a 150/1500 series truck. Loaded ready to camp scaled weight is what?
Bottom line NO you cannot carry a fifth wheel. Think in terms of a TT with a gross weight around 7500 pounds. But that number could by much less depending on what motor.

Have you decided where you want to camp most of the time? BIG RVs may prohibit you from some government campgrounds particularly in California...state and federal, and many of our National Parks are 30 feet. If you are only interested in private RV parks, usually no issue. PS-slides make a smaller RV big at the campsite.

With a RAWR of 3,800, you will not be able to tow but the smallest of FWs. You will likely have around 1K left for axle wt, if you weighed the trucks rear axle. A TT would be best choice, and not a big one.

Not likely. You will generally run out of payload capacity before tow capacity sooner with a fifth wheel and pick-up.
If you want the largest you are going to be better with a travel trailer.

I recommend you keep the trailer GVWR within the tow rating for best results.

Need more info. Make, model, year, does it have a tow package with hitch receiver, and auxiliary tranny cooler, all the details you have. You should be able to look up the tow rating in your owner's manual online.

Generally you are more limited in 5th wheel size than with trailer size. 5th wheels put a lot more weight directly on the rear axle (known as pin weight) and that becomes part of the cargo of the truck.

There should also be a curb weight somewhere on the sticker.

The info you listed tells nothing about the weight of the truck itself, so the gross weights don't give adequate info.

What truck are those numbers attached to?

Generally, not always but generally, you can tow a bigger travel trailer than a 5th wheel with the same truck.
