Please don't lead the OP down the miserable road of trying to tow a 12k empty 5th wheel with a gas-powered truck, it's his hard earned money. Same goes for "Greene728".
Now you're just talking out your a$$. Read the original post, the OP tows 2k miles per year in the northeast. The rest of the time he's using the truck for a daily driver. He's not running loads of artichokes up and down the grapevine every day.
It's obvious you have never towed with a gas engine, and the more you post the more it shows how little you know about the subject.
Countdown till this thread is closed as yet another "gas vs. diesel".....
Not just the defensiveness of the gas owners, but also their rudeness. Did your folks teach you no manners, "burbman"? I have towed with a gas SUV, max was round 7k on a Land Cruiser. It did fine and for four-figure weights occassional towing a gas engine is fine. A 12k DRY 5th wheel (so at least 14k), does not make a gas vehicle a wise buy...if you already own one and its within limits that's a different matter.
If the thread gets closed, look to your language and lack of civility for the reason why. Good day.
