What truck do you use?

Hi All,

I'm graduating to a larger fifth wheel (41 ft.) with a GVW of 16,709 lbs. I'm shopping around for a truck now.

I'm looking at ultra-duty trucks.

It's just for me and my two dogs but we will be full-time.

Here's a list I found of the "best" and the towing capacity for each. Maybe you use something different? Let me know the year, as well as the make/model and what makes it the best for you?

I would appreciate the help!

MC Sierra 3500HD

Base towing capacity: 13,000
Max. towing capacity, conventional: 20,000
Max. towing capacity, fifth wheel/gooseneck: 23,100

Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD

Base towing capacity: 13,000
Max. towing capacity, conventional: 20,000
Max. towing capacity, fifth wheel/gooseneck: 23,300

Ram 3500

Base towing capacity: 10,880
Max. towing capacity, conventional: 21,440
Max. towing capacity, gooseneck: 31,210

Ford Super Duty F-350

Base towing capacity: 14,500
Max. towing capacity, conventional: 21,000
Max. towing capacity, fifth wheel/gooseneck: 32,000
