Here are some links to help you out....


www.trailerlife.com This site will give you the towing capacities of different trucks, both bumper pull and fifth-wheel/goose-neck.

www.rvtraderonline.com You can usually get the trailer weights off this one....

Good luck! By the way, the Dodge will probably be the only one in a half-ton that could pull a 5th wheel (and even then I don't know about that length...Plus Dodges are usually cheaper to purchase....

Oh and when you do decide to take the plunge, always look at least 150 miles outside of the D/FW area. It can save you thousands....

Thanks for the links.

I am looking at Carmax and I will be getting with Brian (TFF'er) at Texas Motorcars as well.

Right now I see a 2005 4X4 4 door Dodge 1500 Hemi w/ 9K miles for a decent price. It's in OKC though but I am willing to travel if the price is right.

I am hoping that Brian can find me something that will work for me. I would rather do business with a fellow TFF'er.

You might want to check out a Ram 2500 with the Cummins diesel. Expensive but it gets almost twice the mileage of a Hemi. And it will pull anything.

Mine will pull my travel trailer and my boat in tandem.
