Haha, ok let me put things in perspective I guess! I'm 27, relatively young so I was never in the market for a truck to pull a trailer. Therefore, I was not aware of how far we've come in the past 5-10yrs with regards to truck capability.
I want to do some camping with the family, and I don't want to outgrow the trailer in a few years. So I'm willing to pony up the cash for the right model. Once you add up the laundry list...
Quad bunks, room for everyone + guests, dog, cat, gear, good insulation for year round use...and you're looking at a 12-15k 5'er. Makes you wonder how did these trucks pull the rigs "back in the day".
Anyways. I was surprised to learn you need a relatively new 1ton DRW to pull a fully featured, well equipped modern 5'er.
LMAO! I guess YOU might need need a DRW truck to pull a full featured, well equipped modern 5'er but I don't. You read to much.....
