That is certainly the most commonly used large 5th wheel towing truck hands down. Only seems logical that the most popular truck would have highest resale right?

Like powerholic, I too have never been to a campground where duallys outnumbered SRW trucks pulling 5th wheel trailers.
Here is the results of a survey conducted in 2018 on trucks sold in 2013 showing 5 year depreciation percentages. It was conducted by iSeeCars.com, and used results from 3.6 million sales. Any vechicles with outlier pricing were removed from survey results. It clearly shows 3/4 tons to have better resale values then 1 tons or 1/2 tons.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500, 29.5 percent
Toyota Tacoma, 29.5
GMC Sierra 2500, 30.6
Ram 2500, 33.7
Chevrolet Silverado 3500, 33.8
Ford Super Duty F-250, 34.3
Ram 3500, 34.3
Ford Super Duty F-350, 35.3
Toyota Tundra, 37.1
Honda Ridgeline, 37.2
Nissan Frontier, 37.8
Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 39.7
GMC Sierra 1500, 39.9
Ram 1500, 42.7
Ford F-150, 44.1
Nissan Titan, 44.7
