Your observation is probably correct.
Still, I remember in the early 1970's I fell in love the RV Fifth Wheel and dreamed one day I'd own one. They were gigantic! That second floor was awesome. And they were heavy! And as I remember, almost everyone who towed one, had normal, everyday, average pick-up trucks. I don't think anyone even thought about weights, and payload, or anything. If it was a pick-up truck, you put a 5er hitch it it and away you go!
Maybe back then, they made only one kind of pick-up trucks ... GOOD ONES!
What happened to the simplicity of life?
