1993 Ford F150 can it tow a 24' 5th wheel over the Sierras?

We are new RV owners. Going To Mammoth Lakes from Modesto for a family camping trip. First time to tow our trailer. Pickup is not diesel. What route is the best way for us to tow to Mammoth Lakes....

What are your travel dates :W

To be serious a 20 year old F150 will have to be in tip top shape for those pulls even with the lightest of fifth wheel trailers. Back then a half ton truck was exactly that, a payload of 500 lbs.
Those mountain roads will need to be researched in the Mountain Directory book, as many will not be a pleasant drive.
Good Luck
