Hello,
We have an F250 on order and are thinking about a 5th wheel. It should be about 15.5K loaded (16.8K max gross weight). The Ford F250 has the eight foot box and the 5th wheel prep.
Would you buy the Ford hitch (18K rating) or another 5th wheel hitch?
Thanks,
Crespro
Crespro,
Are you aware of the drivers license requirement for 5th Wheels over 15k GVWR in California? Just asking as most aren't aware, and most dealers don't or won't tell you.

Thanks. I will contact DMV for the test. It seems both the 15K 5th wheel and 10K TT drivers need this.
