John hit on a familiar subject...we started with a Cougar XLite 28SGS 5th wheel and a used GMC 2500 4x4 6.0 gasser. It was a pretty good match. We pulled it around SE Texas and SW LA with no issues. Then we went to the Smokies. No bueno. Screaming uphill, my foot on the gas pedal to the floor. Then coasting downhill, too fast usually. We got home and I traded it on a F350 diesel. Much better. Well now that we have a good tow vehicle lets get a bigger 5th wheel. We got the Montana HC. Discovered the F350 didn't have quite enough payload. Got the RAM. All is good. Then got the Bigfoot. After a trip to the scales I'm right on the edge of payload capacity. Now "it's why didn't I get a dually?"
