What Size Truck?

Any new 3/4 ton if properly equipped would handle it but do yourself a favor and go to a 1 ton SRW truck. Doesn't really cost much more and has more payload/GVWR capacity.

Those being dry weights....go 350/3500 series....single rear wheel will be fine.

You are in 3500 diesel territory. My 2500 HD has a payload of 2600lbs.

I would buy either a 1 ton truck or 2 half tons.

Look for 4000 payload and 15000 tow rating.

Though I've got a 2500, I would go with a 3500 in your case; they're basically the same price (within a few hundred bucks).

I always suggest buy the largest truck you can afford. Main reason is for safety... it's better to have more truck than just enough truck.

Secondary reason... for the next 5th wheel. Rv'ers tend to buy larger and larger RVs as the years go by. TT to 30ft 5th wheel to 35 ft 5th wheel to 40ft 5th wheel...etc.

Mortimer, two half tons...like coupling train engines? You may have something!

Train engines do not have hold up extra weight. 350/3500 SRW!
