Best truck for large 5th Wheel

I would literally avoid a DRW truck as a daily driver to the point of picking a trailer to match a F350 1 ton single rear wheel capacity.

For a fiver with a GVWR under about 17k a SRW 1 ton works excellent. A long box is a little nicer with the fiver hooked up and a short box is a little nicer when running around empty with the truck. For a fiver with a GVWR over 17k a dually is a little nicer. The Solitude 378 is right about where you could go either way. If you buy a triple axle fiver you might be able to go a little heavier before needing duals. My fiver weighs very close to 17k with my motorcycle on the back bumper and my choice for a truck is a 1ton 4x4 diesel crew cab short box.

Sorry, that is a very bad generalization!
Loaded to GVWR,16,800# times 22% would be 3,696# not leaving much room for passengers and gear in the truck. In addition a DRW will be much more stable with that load.
There is nothing hard about driving a DRW, DW and I have one as our only vehicle.

Not to sound like weight police but I like to go by weight. What is the gross weight of the 5er? Now there are those that will tell you need to leave 10% padding on your vehicle. I assume the engineers already figured that in so I don't see the reasoning in that.
My sig shows what I have pulls like a dream don't even know its back there most of the time,

I think that you will be fine with the F350. You did not say if you are getting the dually but I would recommend that you do get a dually. I would also get the 8' bed.
