Breakthrough CampLite 5th Wheel Trailer - 1/2 Ton Towable!

It seems to me that F-150 is a misnomer for a towable truck. F-150's come in a myriad of specs, rear end ratio's even motors.
The o/p that mentioned the little cabinet being free and portable has a great point. This could become a missile "quick", in a panic stop. I think their basic premise is good, but they are over selling what it takes to tow it. The price of the unit over a conventional, is greater than the cost of a HD tow vehicle IMHO.
The dinette cushions were minimal at best. I think a table and chairs would be a better option. I took note they did not demonstrate what it is like with the slide outs retracted. I have seen some conventionals that I would not own due to severe restrictions inside, when they are retracted.

Very good points; not all 1/2 tons are alike. There are some with 1300 lbs of payload, and some with 2,000 lbs. The person in the video says "this can be towed with any 1/2 ton!". Really? So my friend's 2003 F150 with the 4 liter V8 is the same as my Tundra with the 5.7 V8? And my Tundra is the same as the new F150 Ecoboost with the max tow package which provides much greater payload? Not all 1/2 tons are created equal. The trailer has some merit, but I'm not a big fan of 5ers on a 1/2 ton.
