Thanks for the reply on that! MANY would have zero issue hooking up to that 19k RV with your truck.

How many gallons is your new truck?

AND TECHNICALLY ... I could TOW that beast since its RATED to do so, AND the dealer told me I could ! :B


.... Probably stop it too... But you didn't ask me If I could carry that pin... This truck probably could/would... But no way would I..

I am within ALL my specs and am happy at that !

Dang it! Yes "CARRY IT" would be the correct term.

Nice you have the correct tool for the job!

48 gallons...

Man! What a beautiful truck! That thing would make child’s play of towing my trailer, no WD needed. I went black one time and she was just too hot to handle. :B

5er Towing 21,700 is a real deceptive number that gets people in trouble, 25% pin is 5,425#

My last 5er had 25% pin, it weighed 19k so 4,750#. So with hitch, fuel passengers etc would your truck be within spec towing that Mobile Suites?

** NO **
my pin is 3460# with 12,860 on the trailer axles.. The trailer was weighed for our NORMAL travel, so that number would increase a bit for a longer trip.

I will loose a bit of the pin as the Superglide was 350# and I believe the B&W weighs in at just under 150# per the specs..
AND I added a 50 gallon Titan Diesel tank to the old truck, the weight of the tank was a wash, but the extra fuel weighed in at 113#... that is already factored into my weight now..

Gotta get the new hitch in and run to the scales
