[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 262329, member: 704"] I remember buying my first pickup in 1993. The salesman assured me it would pull any camper I wanted. Was I ever gullible. Notice no question mark. My first camper was a used 24ft 1988 Mallard travel trailer. I could almost feel the transmissions pain. One year later I purchased a new 26 ft 5th wheel that weighed 1000lb less. A year later an ultralight 23 ft 5th wheel. Then a 29.5 foot 5th wheel and a new diesel. Today I have a 37 ft 5th wheel and another diesel. 5th wheels will pull better and handle better, but those half tons pull about half what they are rate for. If you already have a half ton and want to pull more than 5000lb at least add a towing package that includes a radiator for the transmission, and a temp gauge. [/QUOTE]
