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.


Seems to me it was only a year ago that a certain Connecticut poster was threatening to kill me if I somehow injured one of his family members towing my new boat behind the RAV4. (I only tow in Nova Scotia)
Boat rig weighs 2000 lbs...RAV4 rated for 1500 lbs.
Scared me so much I bought the Highlander rated at 5000 lbs. ;-)


How's that Highlander working out for you? My wife wants to trade in her
4Runner, and since we are no longer towing boats, a Highlander might be
more to her liking. I do like the 4Runner for its capacity of bags of
mulch, though. You have a V6, right? 4WD, AWD?
