So who pulls fifth wheels with the 6.7?

[Duffie112]

Im in the process of buying a 34' toy hauler fifth wheel weighs 10,500 lbs dry gvwr is 15,400 lbs. i have a 2012 f350 cc sb. I know fully loaded im a couple hundred lbs over but wont be that heavy i wont be maxing the trailer out. Just curious how the 6.7 hauls stuff this size. Anyone hauling somthing close to this? What do u guys think of it? Thanks guys

Sweet! How much can a trailer weigh legally?

Honestly, there are other threads that address that, I have not even considered it!! This truck rocks this trailer, I keep it under 75 primarily due to not being a dually!! SRW has never been an issue as I keep my tires in good shape and always monitor the psi when pulling.

How do u monitor the psi while towing? Can u see it in the dash screen?

I think he means like monitor it before/after, while fueling, ect... Not like stick your head out the window and look at the tires while driving

No, there is no way to monitor your tire pressure on your trailers using the trucks TPMS, as a matter of fact, you can't even see your exact pressure on your trucks tires. It will just let you know when it is below a certian threshold.

I tow a 32 footer about 13.5k with my SRW 350 and never had a problem with stability. As a matter of fact my last trip from Florida to upstate NY in early July I had a blowout on my 5'er and due to the stability contron on the truck the camper never even wiggled at 70 MPH. Awsome towing machine!

Also airbags are a must! my truck squats about 4" when hooked up, that puts your headlights right in the eyes of incoming traffic.

Thanks for the info. Yea i was thinking i was gonna do airbags just so it sits level still. Gonna have to see how much she squats! Lol

get the bags to keep it level. other than that no worries at all.

I pulled my current 5th wheel (40 ft, 14,200 lbs, 2100 pin wt) with my '08 SRW before I got the dually, and it pulled just fine. The dually is definitely better, but you'll be good. The bags will be a great addition to level and stabilize too.

The hitch you choose makes a big difference as well. Don't skimp there.
