There are so many pretty fifth wheels out there.. I have a 3/4 ton duramax short bed 4x4 and we looked at Montana and Alpines... both are heavy with a lot of pin weight empty.

For that reason we bought the smallest Alpine at 34 feet, empty weight 11.5K with 2490 pin weight... loaded up for our standard traveling confit I’m at about 13K with close to 3000 pin weight ...

I’m comfortable with this, have towed all over the west... I’m aware of what is on my door sticker...

In my case with my truck I would not tow a 40 foot fifth wheel..
