Increasing Max Tow

Comparing one 5th wheel to your TT is like eating someone's potato salad, not liking it and saying I don't like all potato salads. Not trying to persuade you into a 5th wheel but sounds like you need to look around a bit before you really decide on a tow vehicle. Assuming $60,000 is something special in a 5th wheel is not helping either. You can find all kinds of layouts with all kinds of price tags. As an example our Fox Mountain 235RL is the exact equivalent of an Artic Fox 25Y, both made buy Northwood Mfg. Only difference is our 5'er is 2'-2" shorter (235RL 27'10" vs AF 25Y 30'0"). OAL of both the 5'er and truck is shorter also. Minus another 3'6" for the placement of the king pin in the truck and now the OAL is 5'8" less than the TT and truck setup would be. Plus the 5'er has twice the outside storage the TT has by design. I would be looking at all scenarios to get a feel for what you really need or want. I would be hitting the RV lots and shows to get a better feel for what's out there.
