I have a ford f250 long bed with the 351. Gas engine and 5 speed with granny low it pulled my 35 foot camper good . Weight was 7600 lbs but we are looking at a 28 foot 5th wheel weight is 8200 lbs we...
Is the 7600lb trailer the wet or dry weight? Is the 8200lb 5th wheel the wet or dry weight?
If dry, the 5th wheel will be pushing 9500lbs loaded and ready to camp. Your truck has plenty of capacity to hold the front of the trailer up and will get it from point A to point B. How happy and sane you are by the time you reach point B will depend on your expectations.
It'll be slow and you won't be able to keep up with traffic in the hills.
