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.
If you do ever come back to this thread, this is one option if you order a 4X4 F-150 with both the trailer tow PKG & heavy duty payload PKG should give you a payload around 2500#. I have no issues pulling my Jayco 24 RBS. (GTW is 7500# and scaled at 7000#)
