Does anyone know if they make 26 foot or 27 foot 5th wheels that are ultra lites that come in under 7000 pounds? In case I decide to trade up on the TT?
A fifth wheel for the RAM EcoD?
The "half-ton capable" fifth wheels I've seen still have ~15% loaded tongue weight. Add 200# for a 5er hitch, and the question of payload and rear GAWR appear again.
Think you would be better off with a bumper pull where 12% TW is more common, the hitches are lighter. And the WDH can throw some of that weight back to the trailer axles.
