Ford must build one hell of a strong truck. A 2015 F250 with airbags pulled into our campground pulling 20k GVW Designer Suites. The owner claims it pulls well and has pulled that trailer for thousands of miles with no problem and never felt unsafe. I don't condone that combination, but it does show that newer trucks are robust pullers.

Seeking advice on a towing vehicle for a 5th wheel camper.
I am looking at a 2019 Heartland Road Warrior 413RW
I've only ever owned a small travel trailer that was 21' so my SUV was able to tow.
As given, with the fifth wheel I need to upgrade to a pickup but I am not well versed in pickups.
I would have to buy used and not sure what size I should look for or if I should look for it to be gas or diesel, etc.
Thx.

Is that a fifth wheel rating? If so one must understand that would be a triple axle unit with 15% pin weight no doubt.
That is the fifth wheel tow rating..... and agreed

Thanks for sharing the details... We are not head set any given RV.
We are empty nesters with two dogs and are exploring our options if we go the RV route vs. finding a cabin somewhere, etc.
We would like to find something that has a space for hauling a Dirt bike or Four wheeler and doubles as a space for dogs if needed.
