Tow vehicle for 5er
Got this fifth wheel, that maxes out at 15,000 LBS. Looking for a truck to tow it with. Kinda confused on this. Not having much luck on crunching the weight rating numbers of trucks (towing capacity)...

Why? People pull em with Kenworth's. I pulled my prior smaller 5er with my F-550. I looked at the F-350 however the steering geometry is much better on the 450 vs. the 350. Plus I have a heavy 12' Lance camper I also haul with it. Does a great job.
For sure if you need an F450 for something else than using it for a 5th wheel as well is great. I'm sure it does very well and likely almost as good as a properly sized truck. A class 8 is a whole different deal....I guess if I had to maybe I would use my Peterbilt to haul my little 5th wheel but a I"m glad I don't have to.
