In it's previous life my truck was used to primarily to tow a 5th wheel. I have recently been thinking about whether or not to purchase a cheap 5th wheel somewhere that could be used to go on short trips.
After a some(confusing) research, I determined that my truck has a gcwr of 11,000lbs. I should mention that its a reg cab, 2wd, C6 auto and 3.55 diff. From what I understand, the truck should weight in at ~6500lbs(never weighed it before), so that doesn't give me much to work with in terms towing(4500lbs).
Unfortunately haven't actually seen any 5th wheels this light. Is that something of the past??? I doubt that I really want to push things in terms of weight with my truck.
