I have a 27' Topaz 5th wheel, I am sure pulling is not the problem but swinging and jackknifing the trailing I fear it will hit the cab.
Just sold my chevy to but my third toyota, lovin it!!!
Before I put in the trailer attachments in the box of the truck, I wanted to make sure before I start spending cash!
If it doesn't work, going to buy a trailer, wanted slides anyways I guess if it don't work!: 
Thanks if you can help me out!  |
I just bought a new Tundra with the intention of putting a fifth wheel on it. After a lot of research and confusion, I am now convinced that there are very few fith wheel trailers that can be pulled by the Tundra. It's not the towing capacity, it's the weight of the 5vers hitch. When you subtract the curb weight of the truck from the allowable gross allowed weight you end with about 1680 pounds of allowable cargo in and on the truck...Taking into account the weight of two people, the fifth wheel hitch (must be a slider for a short bed) and other luggage and tools one might carry in the truck one ends with an allowable hitch weight of about 1100 pounds. Maybe a little more, but not much. Very few fifth wheel trailers will be that light at the hitch when they are loaded with the stuff put in a trailer while traveling.
