I'm sorry if this question is a repeat, I thought someone else asked this before but I cannot find it anyway, Is there anyone out there with SuperCrew towing a 5th wheel or gooseneck? How heavy is your towing weight?
Thanks for you responces

 

The following is a paragragh from the SuperCrew towing help topic. I asked this question and did not get any response. The more I think about it though I can't see it working.

I currently have a 98 Supercab that I tow a 22' trailer with. I am looking at trading the trailer and am also considering a fifth wheel. But my lease is due in Sept. and would like to look at a supercrew. Has anyone towed or seen anyone tow a fifth wheel with a supercrew. My thinking is that the box is too short. The fifth wheel hitch has to sit over the back axle. On the supercrew this would be too close to the back of the cab.

I went by Nashville Spring Service and talked about this subject with the folks who have installed hitches on my various vehicles over the years. They said Draw-Tite (the brand they sell) doesn't have a mount specifically for the SuperCrew. Apparently, the ball is supposed to be mounted 2-3 inches forward of the front axle, but on the SC there is a bed brace in the way, so it would have to be mounted even further forward.

This doesn't leave much room to maneuver, even if the gooseneck is of the a-frame variety. Not that it couldn't be done. Just that the driver would have to be very careful when turning and backing, or he could wrinkle some very expensive sheetmetal.
