5th wheel towing with a Raptor?

Time2Fly · Dec 12, 2016

A lot of the new 1/2 ton trucks seem to be able to pull 5th wheel trailers. Can the Raptor do it? Can't find the weights anywhere.

The idea here is to pull a travel trailer or 5th wheel RV somewhere, drop the trailer and go play in the Raptor. Don't want to have to buy a 50k Jeep and a 60k 3/4 truck.

If your 5th wheel weighs more than 8000lbs, it will be illegal to tow it with a Raptor. It probably can be done, but safely, I doubt it...

Dude... what fifth wheel are you going to tow?! You know how long it took me to find a bumper pull toy hauler that the Raptor can tow? Please post the fifth wheel you are planning on towing (I need a laugh this morning).

Sorry I have done a ton of Google searchs with zero results. And after trying to search on here, no thread titles match anything near my question that I can find.

Do you have any links?

First, the Scab and the Screw have different tow weights, so which is it?
Second, what is the size of the fifth wheel you want to tow?

Wrong truck for 5th wheel application. That's not what it was designed for. 8000lbs Screw is all it can handle safely.
