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....

Back then a half ton truck was exactly that, a payload of 500 lbs.


??? Is that the "new math" I keep hearing about?


LOL yes your right, I should have worded it better. Once you subtract passengers and stuff in the bed it will leave you about 500 lbs for pin weight. I now see OP listed the weight of the 5er, that is one light fiver!
