Re: Who's Towing a 5th with a half ton?
I pulled an Open Range Light (LF318RLS) 5th wheel for about a year and a half with a 2013 Tundra. The Light was one of the few 5th wheels made to pull with a 5-1/2 foot bed without any special hitches. One of the so-called 1/2 ton towables. I ditched the "P" tires and put 10 ply tires on the truck for safety and had no issues whatsoever. I was probably 100-150lbs over the payload. I also added air bags, but found that I didn't need them at all and never put air in them after the first pull. A few weeks ago I purchased a 2106 F-250 with the 6.7. The new truck "handles" the same trailer a little better, but not a lot of difference. When hooked up to the trailer, the new 3/4 ton actually squats more than the Tundra...prior to air bags.661Views0likes0Comments
