Depends on the TV and FW. What truck are you considering?

For those that say you can't tow a FW with a half ton I guess I dreamt towing 500 miles yesterday. Did I just imagine that :h

This is wholly unnecessary. Sure you *CAN* tow. You can tow a tractor trailer with an old Volkswagen Beetle if you want. Doesn't mean you should. Doesn't mean you're guaranteed to like it after dropping $100,000 on truck and trailer.

Imagine spending $50,000 on a fancy new 1/2 ton crew cab with all the bells and whistles, then dropping another $50,000 on a fancy new 5th wheel and a bunch of upgrades for the truck, only to *HATE* how it drives and handles on your first trip.

$100,000 mistake. You got $100,000 to burn? I don't.

Your example is wholly unrealistic. Of course a $50K 1/2 ton with all the bells and whistles wouldn't have the required payload. My lightly optioned example was $28K out the door. The 2018 5.0 CC has 2140lb payload before options.

I must have missed where the OP stated a $50K fancy new FW. My light weight model was half that.

I *LOVE* how it drives and handles every trip.

Again, my point is the OP asked a general question with no detail and here comes the assumptions and false information.
