2013 no ticking after 108,000. Injectors all make a little noise but that's normal.

Should not be an issue with a fifth wheel. In that regard, I don't notice that much difference between my 2011 F150 with SuperSprings and Bilsteins, and my 2015 F350 that is 1500 lbs heavier. Handling and braking are close, but pulling is the Powerstroke's strong point.
