I thought I'd start a little war with you 1 ton guys.

...

Heck, I would just find a buddy that has a 1/2 ton, plus hitch, and pulls a small 5vr, then borrow his truck.

Don't tell him how heavy your 5vr is. Just use vague terms like, "not too big", "I think it's 23 feet", "Well, I ain't got a hitch on my truck", etc.

Don't worry; it'll be fine. Afterwards, come back and tell us how it went.
