23.5rbs | 2015 eagle ht
Anything change on 5th wheel towing given the new 2015 F150. Perhaps 4x2, Max Tow, 3.5L EB? (I don't own such an F150 yet)
One option
"The 2015 Eagle HT is our lightest fifth wheel yet."
WEIGHTS
Unloaded Vehicle Weight (lbs) 6,220
Dry Hitch Weight (lbs) 1,235
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (lbs) 9,950
Cargo Carrying Capacity (lbs) 3,730
Total Exterior Length 26' 4"

Another Option
Rockwood 8244WS. It actually has a lower GVWR (8050 lbs.).

Well, the 2015s with the HD Payload option and 18" alloy wheels have higher payloads than the 2011-2014s HD Payloads by maybe 200-300#. And they kept the 4800# rear GAWR so you'll have more room there as well.
With care you might be able to do a loaded pin weight of 1400-1600# in such a truck without going over Ford's ratings.
But it would have to be ordered, and I'm not sure if they've started making the 2015 HD Payload option trucks yet.
Without the HD Payload, you might be worse off in 2015 as I think they've lowered rear GAWR a bit more than the Al bodied weight reduction.
