Read this and other forums long enough and you will eventually see someone complain about problems with every manufacturer and every brand, including the “high end” models.
There are heavy 5ers, there are so called light weight 5ers (that are still pretty heavy), and there are very heavy 5ers. So look at weights, particularly pin weights, before choosing a truck, or choosing a 5er for your current truck if you have one. Pin weights of a 35’ 5er can vary by a thousand pounds or more depending on the manufacturer, model, and floorplan. And buying a 5er does not necesarily mean you must have a dually. All depends on weights.
