Who's Towing a 5th with a half ton?

At one time I did, I had a 2000 Chevy 1500 5.3 and 3:42 gears. I pulled a 6500lb small 24 foot fifth wheel with no issues. We were on the edge of payload capacity though. It can be done and depends on what 1/2 ton truck that your using. The main problem one will have is payload on the 1/2 ton trucks, but that's true for all trucks regardless of the size. From camping for 10 plus years, and being on this board for a long time, my suggestion is to find the camper that you want and buy the truck that fits that need. If you have the truck, there are smaller fifth wheels that can be pulled by a properly equipped 1/2 ton truck. Be careful on the posted weights on these campers. Go by the GVWR instead of the dry weight for a better reality of what your pulling. DONT listen to the salesman..... His only job is to separate u from ur wallet...Do your own homework and conti asking questions. Good luck keep us updated.
