So, is it reasonably possible to increase the cargo capacity of a 1 ton SRW pickup from 4100 lbs to, say, 4600 lbs?
What would need to be done?
I do not believe that you ever answer the question on washer, dryer and generator? Or stated that you would push the manufacturer for a more accurate dry pin weight vs their statement of an average pin weight?
I'm considering it all. May need to go with a slightly lighter 5er. Not going to consider a duelly - don't want that. The truck is a daily driver. 5th wheel used for perhaps one trip, each year, for a month or two. Might be worth some towing inconvenience to go with a short bed and sliding hitch.
One trip each year for a MONTH or TWO, sounds like a bit of towing. How long do you plan on staying in each location, how many miles per trip?
Once you get use to the hips, daily driving a DRW is not an issue.
