I looked at a used 5th wheel the other day, but did not realize I would not be able to pull it with my pickup. My son-in-law explained it was too heavy - I would need something bigger. What size RV can I pull with a 1/2 ton crewcab Dodge? Maybe I am looking at way too much trailer?
we need more info other than just "1/2 ton crewcab Dodge".
year, engine size, factory tow package or not, bed size, rear end ratio and 4x2 or 4x4.
very few 5th wheels can be towed by a 1/2 truck, usually only the smallest and with the lowest pin weight.
that's the problem for nearly all 1/2 tons, when it comes to 5th wheels.
they don't usually have enough payload to handle the pin weights of most 5th wheels.
