So you bought a 3/4 ton truck with perhaps a 2,500 pound cargo rating, and plan on buying a fifth wheel soon. Installing a 200 pound hitch, then add 300 pounds of passengers and haul a fifth wheel less than 10,000 pounds with a 2,000 pound hitch weight all over the country. I guess it will be one of those super light 27 foot long models?
I think he bought a 339 as I do not see a 337. 12,600 GVWR and 36'10" and should have gotten a 3500!

As others have stated going to Spokane in January is iffy. Going East from there is really iffy.
If weather is good then I would take 97 up the central part of Oregon.

Hey Chris it's the same truck other than some spring things. They told him it will tow that new RV just fine. So don't be such a nay sayer. ;)
Seriously keep an eye on your rear axle weight. If under the two rear tires capacity then you should be good to go. If your truck sits lower in the rear than the front when hitched add air bags.
