Wife fell in love with 5th wheel...I have an F150

Have been looking for a bit larger TT, something with a rear living or rear entertainment, also, desperately need an 80" bed! Ruled out Outback TT's even though we really liked those, hitch weights...

My husband thinks from what he has read that we don't need a dually to pull a 40 ft 5th wheel. He says an f350 should do the job. We will want to be able to tow at least 18000 lbs. everyone has a different opinion, so who do we listen too? What happens if we don't get a dually. Keep in mind this is our first big truck and 5th wheel as we are new to this.


Well an18,000# 5er will have about 3,600# of pin or as much as 4,500# I think a dually is the correct choice!
