Hideout17, earlier this year my F350 was in the shop and we were heading to Mexico the following week so we towed with th 016 Tundra.
I'm going to keep this short as I'm sure that you'll jump down my throat anyways.
The Tundra has lots of nuts to pull my trailer and it handled very well to my surprise! As for all of the specs I know that I was pushing it.
I would do it again but I won't as I have a truck that can safely pull my TT.
And for you asking about pulling a 5th wheel I'm just going to say straight out don't do it! No matter how you do the math it doesn't work. The only thing that you have going for you is the power.
Here's my theory on things : No matter what trailer that you'll buy at some point you'll want to upgrade as many of us have and you'll be stuck with a truck that'll barely pull it.
I have an F350 that's overkill for my trailer but I know that when and if I upgrade I'll have the truck to pull it and no worries about dishing out another 40 grand to upgrade it.
