OP. The answer is that you CAN tow some fivers with the right Truck with the 5.5 ft bed. The right truck is usually a F150 with the max tow and HD payload package or a GM truck with the NHT package.
Just like a Half Ton (grocery getter) can tow some travel trailers but not all.
Also, in general, you can tow a bigger Travel Trailer with a half ton than a fiver. A half ton runs out of payload and rear axle rating faster than a 3/4 or 1 ton truck.
Love my grocery getter...I personally and willing to deal with the trade offs for a vehicle that is much easier to deal with on a daily basis. (I work in the city)
Thanks!
