2,000 pound payload? you might as well keep your 150.
Agreed. A lot of 5th wheel pin weights are over 2000#. Add in the weight of the 5er hitch, driver, passengers and you're over.
I haven't seen a 250 diesel with over 2250# payload. Might get there with a 4x2, Regular Cab or maybe the Chevy Duramax 2500s are better. The RAM Cummins 2500s I've seen are seem worse. Those diesels are heavy.
For the big diesels and fifth wheel towing, a 350/3500 makes more sense.
