Hello,

I'm in the process of getting a Grand Design Solitude 377MBS which according to the website has a GVW of 16,800 so based on my calculations, that puts my pin weight at 3,400. With the new fifth wheel, I also need a new truck but am having a hard time finding the max capacities for trucks based on different trim options.

As far as trucks go, I'm hoping to find a crew cab, with standard/short bed, diesel engine, and single rear wheels. I'm going to be towing roughly 9 months out of the year, traveling going up to mountains for skiing and that sort of thing. Is there a truck that safely fits into my criteria or do I need to look into a dual rear wheel truck?

Thanks!
