'My truck's unladen rear axle (hitch installed) weighs about 3470 lbs. My trucks's GRAWR is 7230 lbs. So a pin weight of around 3700lbs should be just fine.'
Based on this, it sounds like a 1 ton will have room to spare. I am just not sure if this is all I need to consider.
I heard stability in wind and rain may make a dually a better choice. Is there a big difference?
I may have to look at a lighter 5th wheel. I have never driven a dually, except for a motorhome. My preference seems to be a 1 ton SRW.
Coming from a f150, it is hard to imagine a 1 ton not being enough. Live to learn.
Any suggestions on high quality 5th wheels on the lighter end of the scale (15k) loaded?
Thank you for all the replies.
