Towing 2600RB w/1 ton F-350
We have a F-350 that we used to pull a 337RLS 5th wheel. Works great! Because of health reasons and the size of the 337, this set up isn't working for us. To Big! Trying to sell it. 2018 337 RLS, southern Michigan.
We are looking at switching back to a TT. Question is, how will the truck react to pulling a 30' travel trailer with a 7850 GVWR? Seems a little light? Am I looking to deep into this? More is better???

I wish you well with the sale.
As for the truck it will be fine unless you want to buy a new truck. I assume it's a diesel so power isn't a problem. Not sure the year ether but the truck may not even know the trailer is back there. You do know they make smaller 5th wheels in the 30' range. Way easier to hook up than a TT

I think the truck will be fine. We pulled our last TT before trading it in with our dually. It was 36' around 7500lbs plus or minus some. It felt good pulling it compared to the F150 i had before the 350. I dont think I've heard anyone say "i have too much truck for my trailer". On the bright side you will have plenty of payload available for stuff in the bed.

Thanks Guys. I forgot to mention, because of my health I need to get a setup that my wife could drive. She pulled our travel trailer before, but will not drive with the 5er. To Big. We have looked at the smaller 5th wheels, but I think they will still be to big/tall for her and me.

Okay I’m curious. Will the F350 need a hitch with sway control? I know it probably doesn’t need a weight distribution.
