Hi dmgray04,

Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum. There's lots of useful information here along with a great bunch of friendly and helpful people.

If you're thinking about pulling a Sundance 3000mk 5th wheel with a 1500 gasser, you might need to rethink. The trailer's GVWR is 13,800. The pin weight is 1925 minimum, and more likely to run around 2,600 lbs when the trailer is fully loaded.

A 1500 might have a 5th wheel towing capacity of close to 10,000 and a payload of around 2,000. A 1500 will be seriously overloaded on towing and weight on the rear axle.

You should be giving serious consideration to a diesel 2500. If there's any chance of a future trailer upgrade, you might want a 3500.

There's a lot more information available at Fifth Wheel Safe Towing.
