[QUOTE="Jim parnell, post: 930200, member: 64968"] Then go for it. You don't mention what size 5th wheel you're considering, only the size truck. If you get 14 mpg towing your current camper with your ST V8, its gotta be a small camper. How much does the 5th wheel under consideration weigh?? How far would you tow the "new" 5th wheel. No I was not kidding about the mpg when towing. You tow something now and you don't get the EPA estimates when towing, and apparently its a small camper. You seem to be under the impression the F150 5.4L is a powerhouse, it is a strong, durable truck based on my experience having owned one, but I still don't think its built to tow an average size 5th wheel. Maybe a small 5th wheel, but here again, you didn't mention what size/weight of a 5th wheel under consideration. If you provide more info, I might change or retract my statements, but based on the info you provided, you asked for thoughts and got one. [/QUOTE]
