Who's Towing a 5th with a half ton?
How many people out there are towing a 5th wheel with a half ton truck, and the weight of your 5th wheel?
Forum Discussion
I used to. I had a 2006 Dodge Ram 1/2 ton. It was a quad cab, 4x2 with the hemi and 3.92 rear gears. I put air bags on it. The old trailer was a prowler 27.5 ft 5th wheel. Dry weight was around 6900 pounds. Loaded it about 7500. I was close on payload limits with that combo but it towed it alright
Then I got the 3500 with the Cummins and it was night and day.
I've seen Dakotas, colorados and Rangers towing 5th wheels. But they were usually small single axle ones.
Basically it is doable with the right combo and set up. Its just harder to match truck and 5th wheel when you have a half ton as most half tons don't have the payload.
