Is there really a 1/2 ton towable fifth wheel?
Just got rid of my bumper pull and would like to do fifth wheel but the weights look over what I would expect.

I've seen substantial size 5th wheels towed by half tons. They were clearly way beyond their payload rating, but they hid that fact with air bags to keep the truck level. If I see such a rig on the highway, I try to avoid being anywhere near them!
Not all long 5er are heavy.
It's the pin weight that is the problem.
I suspect there's a 24 foot 5er out there that might be somewhat safe with a 1/2 ton, but personally, I do not tow anything of substantial weight or regularly with any semi floating (rear) axle.
