We tow a heavy three axle 32' toy hauler. I used an 03 2500 Ram and now a 17 3500 Ram with little problems from the 3500 and maxing out the 2500. The trailer weighs ~10,500 empty. Add 150 gallons of water, 35 gallons fuel cell and 25 gallons and 4 ATV's along with all the food and gear inside and we are running about 13,500. I have pulled from Oregon to St Louis and back along with a summer trip this year to Iowa and back. I am sure the 5th wheel will ride better and turn at a sharper radius. When I bought mine I was told not to as it rides rough. So far it is fine. I am using the Reese Dual Cam set up and it is easy to hook up each time and the only problem I have with it is the loud bang when it centers or uncenters. I do like having the bed of my truck so I don't have to put bicycles inside the toy hauler. I also like to carry wood in there and not in my trailer. So far I have not had a problem getting into a camp site from the length or the pivot point at the back of the truck. It does suck when I try to back into a site at night. The back is way back there!
