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....

PIN weight as it relates to your available payload is the BEST reason you might run into trouble. I suspect you have a 6600 GVWR for the truck which will leave you very light on payload which must handle passengers, cargo, optional eqipment on the truck and the trailer PIN weight (probably 20% of total trailer weight.
