Well it looks like we found a hauler that will fit what we needed.. Found a XLR Hyperlite 24hfs. Plenty of room in the garage portion and comes in at 5600 lbs dry..
I hope it works out for you. Did you check your payload? My camper started out in the brochure with a dry weight 1,000 lbs. lighter than that one and ended up loading the truck rear axle to within 50 lbs. of its weight rating. I think you'll need to be aware of putting all your cargo in the camper instead of in the truck. Good luck with it.

It would be 2 Harleys, combined weight of about 1500 lbs. Ford claims the truck will tow 11,500 lbs. Obviously I want to stay well below that.
11.5K behind a 1/2 ton. Incredible... Manufacturers really are doing everyone a disservice by claiming these kind of silly numbers.

These have been creeping up for years. And honestly, the issue wasn't really towing them, it was stopping them. Trucks have been getting progressively better...well.. everything for years.
One might claim that the current 1-ton diesel ratings of 31-32k is "silly" also, but they're rated to both tow and stop it...
