Sean,

Glad to hear you are OK. Should have stayed with the Explorer pulling that train! I used to pull a 5th wheel and my 6x10 trailer behind a 1/2 ton pickup, then went to an older ford diesel (non turbo...what a pig) then went to a larger 5th and the 6x10 with a 3/4 ton Chevy HD. The 3/4 was by far the best...obviously. Never really had any trouble pulling with any of these rigs. My 5th wheels weighed from 6500 lb. to 8500 lb. dry! Pulling a 5 th wheel is much easier.

Now that I have the diesel pusher, there's no going back! Just watch out for the mud holes! BTW, make sure you get a motion satelite in your new rig. Nothing like driving a 40 ft. rig with an 18 ft trailer behind it while watching "The Man Show." on satellite...right Kevin!

Later
