vehicle question
I recently bought a 2014 cougar 5th wheel at weighs in at 12,000 lbs. I currently have a 2009 chevy hd2500 6.0 gas. I've been told that this trailer exceeds weight limit and might burn up transmission although from what I've read it can tow up to 12,700. I've also been told that a gas engine will struggle for a lack of torque. It's been recommended that i trade for a Diesel. I wanted to ask those with experience.
that being said I have found a 2002 Ford F350 with the 7.3, very clean with low mileage that I can trade for. it fits my budget. what would you do. thanks, I'm a novice at campers and diesels.
