Thinking of changing to 5th wheel.

I just saw a rather nice 24ft 5th wheel at the campground. Rear Living is pretty cool! Curious of just light these trailer can actually go. Mainly because I'm curious if my 1/2ton Tacoma 6v could handle one? It's my TV for the TT right now.
Tent to Pop-up to 5th wheel, currently without and wanting...

The important number is payload..

Tacoma: 1,120 to 1,620 lbs and that's for a 2018.
Take from there.

My very first fiver was a 25', 6300 pounds fully loaded. I bought a F150, small V8 and it made it to the top of the hills... I then traded for V8 Dodge 1500 and that towed it like a boat.

If you got the model of the fifth wheel you liked, maybe you can look up the specs? From all my experiences towing fifth wheels from # 1 to # 4, IMHO your truck is not enough.

Not likely. There maybe two fivers you might consider. Casita is one of them. But frankly towing a fifth wheel with your quarter ton would not be much fun. Stick with what you got until you can aford a more capable vehicle.
