In order to support a 5th wheel RV with dry hitch weight of 1868 pounds, you need at least 2800 pounds of payload IMHO. That dry weight will grow by 250-500 pounds. You have a 200 pounds receiver in the bed. And then you need to carry yourself and any other passengers and cargo in the cab and bed. So as you shop, open the driver's door and locate this sticker. See what they all have where mine says 2051. Find any pickup with about 3000+ pounds of payload, and it will have plenty of tow rating and other towing related specs.
Hint, that's about 0.01% of F-150s in production, 10% of diesel 3/4 tons, 90% of gas 3/4 tons, and 99.95% of 1-tons.
