5th Wheel pulling

^^Says the guy who probably has never towed with an F150 that has the HD package.
Although I still stick to my argument that an F150HD eco is perfect for a 7-9k 5th(when loaded), I would have to agree that if you are spending a lot of time in the 5th and dragging it around the country, the lightweight models are going to fall apart. Plus, you won't be packing as light as a weekend warrior.
In this case, looks like your best bet is a full-timing grade 5th and a diesel 1 ton. Head over to RV.net for some opinions. There's no shortage of them

I know that the extra wheelbase would make a difference and don't get me wrong I enjoy my truck a lot and think it is the best 1/2 ton class towing truck out there. I do however stand by the statements in my previous post regarding what the OP is trying to do and think he would be much happier with a full-time rated trailer and TV to match
