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.
Certainly do in Australia, but the tiny payload would be against you for the Ram. Global 3 litre Diesels have 2300-3000lb payloads
