20,000 Teton 5er - Truck Needed (legally)
If I buy a 20,000 pound Teton 5er, what is the minimum truck requirement to remain within combined vehicle weight? 350, 450, 550, ... thanks!

Thanks everyone. Great info. I currently have a 2005 DRV 18,500 lb RV (loaded) and pull it with 2011 Ford 450 6.7. It pulls it fine but I am always conceded about stopping power. The 2006 Teton would be 20,000 loaded. I thought I would need a stronger truck at least for the stopping power.
Thanks Again!
We have a heavy fifth wheel at 18+ weight. We pull it with a Dodge Ram diesel 5500 and it handles it great.
Just my opinion, I think we get a little bit better fuel mileage with a Dodge. We get around 10 MPG and up, towing. Depends on the road and terrain.
We are full timers.
