What Truck are ya'll using to haul your GVWR 16,400 lb RV's?

My fifth wheel is only 14k lbs, but we chose a F350 crew cab with long wheel base.
The ride is like a 1 ton truck in many cases, and yet on soon roads here in DFW, it rides better then my previous 1/2 ton Silverado.
But most all the trucks will pull like a freight train, and in the end that's the key.
As my dad would say, drive what you like, like what you drive.

My only recommendation is getting a truck with the factory bed connections. The puck system.
So easy, just snap out the plastic caps and drop in the hitch. When you hitch is out, you have a clean unobstructed bed.

Good luck and safe travels!

I have been in super duties since 1999 and the only one that had issues was the 2006 6.0, that had the head gasket issues the 6.0 was known for.  My current 6.7 is about to turn 100K with most miles towing, zero problems by keeping oil changed and fuel clean.  Back to the old whats brands better, depends on who you ask.

Every one of them (Ford, GM, Dodge) has their good and bad points. All of them will tow your 5th wheel faster than you have any business going.
None of them will have a turning circle like a car (or even a 1/2 ton truck), so pretty much forget one shot U turns. Only consistency is get a dually, and the factory puck system. Buy the truck that fits you best, both ergonomically, and comfort wise.
Now, here is the gotcha: Pay very close attention to the details, checking -or not checking- one box on the order form (either when the dealer ordered the truck or if you do) can have an impact on tow rating. Verify everything, most salespersons have no idea about anything. My point is, yes you can add a 5th wheel hitch or a brake controler, but aftermarket isn't as good as factory- and wont have the factory warranty.

Surprisingly good advice ... usually the truck fan boys blast the other guys. I have a 2016 F350 dually, 6.7 diesel, crew cab, long box. The dually and long wheelbase are a noticeable advantage when towing. I think any of the big 3 would make a good tow vehicle if properly (and similarly) equipped. Ford’s new diesels are very reliable ... don’t know where that criticism came from. This assumes you are buying new. If you buy used, particularly older than 2-3 years, you need greater awareness of brand strengths and weaknesses. 6.0 Fords were problematic. GM’s used to have low GCVW ratings. Rams also had issues so when going used research your chosen truck’s brand history. I would tell you that a diesel is a superior towing platform and helps trucks retain a better resale value. Good job on picking the rig first and then buy a truck that is suited to tow it safely.

I meant with 7.3 gas just quoted wrong person

Yea I’ve done gear swaps before, but since we don’t tow much not gonna bother.

The diesel will also weigh more, it's a heaver engine.  Mines 9,993 with the 80 gallon transfer & truck full.

AND - Do not believe anything a salesman says!

Pay very close attention the order form, checking (or not checking) one of those boxes can affect your capacity. Most sales guys are complete and total idiots who have no idea what does what and will tell you anything to get you you to take the mis-ordered poorly specified pile of dung they ended up with thru some dealer trade the idiot general manger did.
