5th Wheel Towing w/ 2001 F150 7700
Hi all, My wife and I keep going back and forth between a smaller 5th wheel or a TT. We want to make sure we make the right decision as we will be full timing. It's the battle between space and tow...

I have a 2001 F150 Supercrew pulling a 7880 GVWR 26' fifth wheel for almost 12 years.
Been up/down the West Coast, over the Rockies, through the 115F heat in the Southern deserts, long 10 percent plus grades plenty of times without any issues. OK while traveling I have replaced a start battery, alternator and a fuel pump but I think that is all in the normal course of 190,000 miles. Original transmission is still working great. Yes I slow down and hang with the truckers at times. Never any trouble controlling speed going down the hills.
Headed to Glacier this Summer. Sounds like you will have more truck and less trailer than I.
