Just replying to J Haggerty's post. Showing the Terry 5th wheel I tow with my Ranger.

The second pic of the Cougar was just a joke not hooked up.

26 1/2' Terry. 5,900 lbs dry. Reese slider hitch. About 750lbs tongue weight empty.

Nice

Got brakes?

Lol. She will never see the post.

I'll weigh the the rig next time I'm by our local truck stop.

I just sold my other camper so all my camping gear is in my garage in one spot. It includes, 2 lawn chairs, folding table, 2 solar tiki lights, two 8x10 outdoor carpets, portable Coleman grill, 1 tote full of kitchen accessories, 1 tote of misc camping stuff. Tool box. Beverage cooler, fishing...

This is with the hitch in the forward position. Slid back 10" gives more space yet.

It's a 10" slider hitch. Plenty of turning radius. I'll post some pics next time I hook it up. Also the truck cab is about 12" narrower than a full size truck. 750 pin weight over the axle only lowered the back 1".

27' Fifth Wheel. 5200 lbs dry weight. 750 pin weight. Pulls fine so far.

Thanks brroberts for the reply. Back in the late 80s and 90s I owned an RV dealership. Set up a lot of 5th wheel systems on 1/2 ton ,3/4 ton, and one ton trucks. I know what my Ranger is capable of towing weight wise and how I need to do the hitch on it. I was just looking to hear from anyone...

So what about a 5th wheel that has a dry weight of 5,900 lbs and pin weight of 800 lbs. Hitch can be right over axle.

5th wheels handle much better than a regular travel trailer. Eliminates most sway problems. Don't understand why it's a bad idea as long as you stay within the gross weight and pin weight.

What size 5th wheel are you towing?
