We have just retired, bought a 2014 F150 Ecoboost 6cyl 3.73. Looking to buy light 29-32 Foot 5th wheel and will travel south from Ontario Canada for winter months. Any suggestions on best model to purchase. We know it must be in the light category - there are some very nice models out there....too many!
You're =very= unlikely to find something that your truck will safely handle in that size range. Should have bought the FW first, then matched the truck to it. Never forget, it's what you can CARRY, not what you can TOW. A 1/2 just doesn't have much carrying capacity, even the newer ones. With the 6 cyl., you'll struggle on grades and in wind, too. You might be much better off to consider a bumper pull.
