Well after reading many posts and researching payload caps ( diesels) ..it appears to me that if you are even thinking about a 5th wheel you should go with a 1T class truck where as a 3/4T should be able to handle most BP types. I know this a generalization but seems pretty accurate no? The payload is the really the deciding factor from what I have seen and the pin weights are just too high on 5th wheel toyhaulers. That is if you want to stay in-line with the law atleast.

What law is that?

The law(s) of physics and common sense.

You must operate a motor vehicle on public roads withing the manufacture specs. Heck that in my grand daughter handbook.

When I sat on jury for traffic accident is was on the questionare that each jury had to fill out. The question was something like this. "Was the motor vehicle operated within manufacture specs -- YES OR NO -- if yes what percentage of the fault would you assign 1 to 99 percent.
