If I can comment on something in your original post: "...1/2 ton fifth"

I own a Cougar HT. Granted, I have the biggest one, but still - no way even the shortest one should be pulled by even a "properly" equipped 1/2-ton pickup. Many do it, but I don't think 1/2-tons should pull 5th wheels (and I'm not the most conservative on this forum!).

Don't sweat it too much - you got the unit you WANTED, and you'll be MUCH happier towing with an HD pickup - period.

Nice truck selection, too. I'm a GM guy, but those Ram's are very nice.
