Tow Vehicle
I have a Jayco Eagle HT (Half-Ton Trucks). The length of the fifth wheel is 31'8. The unloaded weight is 7,135. The gross weight is 9,950. The cargo carrying capacity is 2,815. I am wanting to know...

1) 1/2 ton trucks are not designed to pull fifth wheels, the payload capacity and brakes are the critical issues.
2) Ultra light means they are making a flimsy trailer IMO. That weight they removed was there to make the structure rigid and to make it long lasting. You cannot cut that without giving up a lot.
3) If you insist on a 1/2 ton get a bumper pull trailer.
