I am thinking of buying a new truck to pull our winnebago micro Minnie 5th wheel. We currently have a 2006 gmc 2500 . I’d like to go with a smaller truck for gas mileage and was thinking of a Toyota Tundra or GMC 1500 4x4. While the trailer is fairly light and we’ve been told a 1500 can pull this trailer, I’d like to hear other opinions. Is there anyone who has any experience towing smaller 5th wheels with these trucks? . Gross Vehicle Weight is 7000 on the trailer.
I chuckle at these "Getting a 150/1500 so I have a smaller truck! We Park Host and drive many different Park trucks from Nissan Frontiers to F550 dump trucks. Just the other day drove a newer F150 CC LB that felt every bit as big as our Ram 3500 CC LB DRW!
Do yourself a favor get at least a 2500/250, if not a 3500/350 SRW there isn't that much size differences.
