Keep our diesel or get a gas truck?
We have a 2012 Ram 2500 diesel. We pull our 5er approximately 5 times per year, 50 mile round trip each time. Otherwise it's just a daily driver. Dh takes it to work which is a 15 mile trip one way...

Bedlam, it is great that you own so many vehicles. Are they all used to pull a fifth wheel trailer on vacation trips? That is what the OP is asking about. I like a newer, low mileage vehicle to give me trouble free service for such tasks. Older vehicles like my Jeep and dump truck can be as old as they want as long as they do their job.
The only one strong enough to tow my enclosed trailer is the 2015 model. Some of the vehicles are seasonal like dune buggies and motorcycles. I do have a 8' flat bed that can be towed by four of my vehicles (five total if get around adding a hitch to the 1957). With the exception of the '57 (which is still needing some work), all are reliable for longer excursions and many travel in the trailer with us on trips to be used as "run around" vehicles at our stops. Even the tinker-toy '57 gets to go on some trips...
