I have been talking to some truck guys around here and we are looking
at
a 1500 Silverado four door with a 5.3...

----------------------------------

Very doubtful that would be rated anywhere near high enough for a 36'
fifth wheel. You are going to need a 2500 or F-250 series truck at a
minimum.


I agree with Rich. a 1500 is a 'heavy half' tone truck. and is light
for the load. I've never seen a 1500 set up for a 5th wheel, and the
5.3 will pull it but it'd have to work at it.

Git up and go is only half of it. Slow down and whoa is the other part.
