The High Country 5th wheels may be designed to be towed by a 3/4 ton truck, but in reality only the gas engine 3/4 ton trucks may still be within the GVWRs....and really close even with the lighter weight gas engines setups. Many of the diesel 3/4 ton trucks weigh 7500 lbs. or higher empty. With 3/4 ton trucks grossing at 10,000 lbs, that leaves only 2500 lbs. for a hitch , the family, and the pin weight of the 5th wheel. With HC empty pin weights starting in the 2100 lb area (and much more when loaded), I venture to say that most diesel 3/4 ton trucks pulling any HC would be over GVWR.
