Towing Issues: Ford F150 / 5th wheel, 5th wheels, 5th wheel
QuestionI've only had experience w/ a bumper-pull camper. Looking into smaller, lightweight 5th wheels. Trying to figure out if my 2004 F150 King Ranch can handle a 24' 5th wheel. I know there are bed issues and have some measuring to do. The camper in question is a K-Z Sportsmen 2456P, unsure of year but at least 3-5 yrs old. Specs from manufacturer on 2007 same model # says Unloaded Wht: 6300 #. Dry Hitch Wht. 1180 #. Dry Axle Wht. 5110 #. GVWR 10,000 #. Any help if greatly appreciated???
AnswerIt never ceases to amaze me that I get questions about what something will tow. and I get a make, and year if I am lucky.
No engine info, tranny, gearing etc. Makes it very hard to judge these things.
going by one site, a crew cab F150 for your year should tow up to 9800 pounds. If you don't have a tow package and have the smallest engine, than you are in trouble though! If yours is well equipped, then you should be just fine.
