How large travel trailer or 5th. wheel camper can I pull with a 1/2 ton Z71 pickup.?
You will get as many answers on this as there are people answering it.
Now I know there will be those who have never actually done this who will tell you to read the owner's manual. That is good... but it will give you a GVRW that is very conservative. What I am going to tell you is by actual experience and NOT what the book says... but you are free to believe the owner's manual if you wish.
This is a long argued question and there is NO REAL answer... because there are the morons who will insist they can haul a 12,000 pound fifth wheel trailer with a F150... they can't... but the are too stupid to know it.
I have actually tried this and I found that once I got near 6000 pounds on the toad, I was at the upper end of the power curve and the towing envelope, so that would be my answer: 6000 pounds for the toad... 5th wheel or pull trailer since it doesn't seem to make a difference. AND... when you get to the upper limit... don't expect blinding speed or hill climbing power.
We had an Airstream 31 and that was all the truck could handle in any kind of hill country. The 27 foot 5th wheel was no better.
