Re: Towing Capacity
I am beginning to appreciate that we should be looking at a 1 ton truck. Why the dually? The trailers we are looking at are Keystone Avalanche's...39', 40' or 41'.

Towing Capacity
I suspect this has been asked and answered... The 5th wheel trailer we are looking to buy has a gross weight of just under 16,000 pounds. We are planning on trips out west going through mountains. Am I naïve to think that a vehicle with a max towing capacity of 17,000 pounds is going to be adequate? We are buying both a trailer and a truck. One of the worst things that could happen would be to realize the truck we purchased does not have the horsepower or just barely has enough horsepower. Are we better off getting as much horsepower as we can afford? Comments please. Thanks in advance.
