Just clarifying, 14 -15,000 lbs unloaded, then what is the weight going down the road? The answer may influence the quality of answers you get. Good luck with your research and realize there are many highly qualified people on the forum that will be glad to help.
Nofoolin,
Right...good point...we're probably looking at a minimum of 14k pounds UVW...then 16k to 17k loaded?
The 5th wheel we have been salivating over is something like a Momentum, 38-ish feet long (looking for a nice used one). The specs on that are about 14,300 UVW, then of course adding the normal stuff...2,000 pounds worth?
Anyway, at the moment I'm looking to get advice as to generally which trucks to look at. 1 ton, 2 ton, single axle, dually, gas, diesel, a certain range of years, like, say, the 20XX to 20XX Ford such and such, or Chevy such and such.
Of course more specific recommendations would be terrific.
