I have always maintained the following....
250/2500 series trucks are good for up to 10,000 GVWR fifth wheel
350/3500SRW series trucks good for up to about 12,000 GVWR fivers
get a dually for anything more. You wont regret the decision.
A question regarding 5th wheel GVWR. This weight is highly variable depending upon what the owner feels necessary to bring along, eg. a weeks worth of firewood etc.?????
While I do not own either the truck, or the 5th wheel, the point of this thread is understand towing capacities better, and find the sweet spot for tow vehicles and camper weight. You may have answered just that in the above.
