5th wheel for Colorado/Canyon twins?

Check out the 199 RB at 4500 GVWR and the 219 RKS with a small slide at 5600 GVWR.

14 years, well over 60K miles. From the Carolina, Kentucky, mountains to the Rockies.

For a couple in state trips:

Pretty much what I've found/expected. Thanks

I agree with Dodge Guy on the bars over the windows, looks like a very stout rig.

Thanks, Jeremiah. Still the payload has to be much more than 1600lbs to be effective.
Same relatively small diesel as the Colorado,but vastly more payload

With a tow rating of 3500-7000 lbs depending on package, and max cargo capacity of 1620lbs, good luck.

The equivalent of the Colorado/ Canyon here can tow a 26ft lightweight 5th wheel with few problems. But not with a payload of 1600lbs.

One of these would work fine.

I've seen a lot of RV's over the years but never one with bars on the windows. Sure glad I don't live where that one is stored!

Going by the pic and flipped axle on air bags! I would have to say those bars are to protect the windows when driving down a rough dirt road! Extreme boondocking, or just ready for the zombies!

Just fab up a goose-neck hitch and use the Andersen. Should be simple enough.

No it will not tow a 35 ft long and 13 ft high fiver, but there were tons made back in the day that would be a great match to these capable Colorado's.

I'm thinking Old School Shadow Cruiser and the such.

Too bad the true half ton towable fivers are no longer made. I think there would be a market for them if they would just get their marketing programs together.

Thanks!
