[QUOTE="Norske, post: 57139, member: 409"] Actually weigh your camper and boat with normal loads of stuff in them. The towing capacities of drivetrains and the load-bearing capacities are listed in the pickup manufacturer's brochures, normally near the back. Remember the weight on the kingpin of a 5th wheel runs 20%-30% of the total weight of the trailer. Buy something with towing capacity about 1 1/2 times your total towed load to protect the drivetrain from overheating. Minimize interior options (it's a truck!) and put your hard-earned $$ into power. Never believe a salesman's advice. He's paid extra to sell whatever has been on the lot the longest, and usually knows nothing about towing. [/QUOTE]
