It looks like the new E450 Itasca does indeed have a 5000 lb tow rating. Like I said, I did see some old one's with that rating but this is the first new one I have seen that had that. Believe me I looked high and low but doesn't this really surprise me that this rig exists. I totally missed the Eagle Cap's too. Kind of irrelevant as I'm not interested in a Class C (LOL!) but good to know. PN, I'm not looking to downsize as my rig is only 33 feet total and a C would essentially be the same thing I have now. BTW, an F550 is not a 1 ton and has more capacity and capability than a F450 chassis. An F450 chassis would be fine but that 14k lb tow rating WHILE that 6000 lb rig sits in the back is compelling and the price difference is negligible. The TC would be much smaller than both of our current rigs but offers more ground clearance, 4WD and diesel (miss that extra power at higher elevations) PLUS more towing capability.
