Default towing

is anyone toming 5th wheel campers, and if so what size and what hitch are you using. i am asking because i am looking at a 24' camper that weighs 4330# and was wondering if it is too much for a 2006 f150 w/5.4l? any advise would be great.

You should be fine as long as long as the loaded camper doesnt reach the max capacity your manual says which I'm pretty sure is way above 4300 lbs. Also as long as the tongue weight isnt above the max you'll be fine. I can't comment on which hitch to use with the 5th wheel but just make sure it can handle the tongue weight.

If you have the towing package then it'll be even better just make sure overdrive is off while towing.
