Anyone out there have any manufacturer/model recommendations for a nice small 5th wheel to match to this truck? (Triton V8 with Two Package)

I'm looking for something new to 3 years old.

It doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles - slides would be nice but I can live without them.

I'm not looking for something cheap - just something comfortable and easy to handle with the F150.

I pull an 18 ' travel trailer with my F250's and I own a 32' Class A Seabreeze.

Thought we might switch with the Class A or the TT for a 5'er if we can find a fit.


Thanks, Ken

 

Ken,

I just picked up an '03 Trail Wind (Trail Bay) by R-Vision. It has two slides and has a dry weight of 6700 lbs. GVWR is just over 8000 lbs. I pulled it home two days ago and was pleased with the way the truck handled. This is my first fifth wheel, so I was a little apprehensive. I have an '04 supercab, 5.4, 3.73, 4X4, with tow package. While shopping, I saw an Outback fifth wheel that was extremely nice and under 7000 lbs.

 

2004 Keystone Cougar 276efs
It has a 12' slide, weighs 6,860lbs dry
Weighs about 8500 loaded.

 

Before we settled on our Outback travel trailer, I was toying with the prospect of a 5er. About the lightest one I found in the size range we wanted was a Flaggstaff 28BHS. If you don't need bunks for kids, the possiblities are greater.

I also got a 24' outback tt and it tows nice with my set up 5.4 with 3.55's

 

Thumper38,

Have you been to "Outbackers.com" ???? They are REALLY great trailers!

Its like F150online for us Outback owners.

Sidewinder - Thanks for the tip on Outbackers.com. Great site and lots of info.

The Outback line looks like a fit for the F150.

Thanks, Ken
