Towing truck

[Mickey_G]

I plan on buying a 2005 30' Holiday Rambler Alumascape.
Would an F250 deisel Super cab be a good truck to pull this with, or should I stay with the crew cab dually?

I would personally opt for the 2000 F350 for that 5th Wheel. Hard to beat the 7.3 for reliability, and the crew cab is a bonus.

If you are mostly going to use the truck for towing, I'd go with the older Crew Cab dually. It will give you more room, and those 7.3s were great engines, just a little noisey. It appears you are familiar with diesels, and the problems that can be expensive. The 04 350 Super Cab would work. I tow a similar size FW, with a 13 Super Cab. Just two of us, works great for me.

The Trucks are either a 2000 F350 Crew Cab dually with a 7.2 diesel, or a 2004 F350 Super cab SRW with a diesel also.
I will be pulling a 2005 Holiday Rambler Alumascape 30' 5th wheel.
I have a 2005 F350 Crew Cab dually with a 6.0 diesel, but it sits way to high, and it would cost a small fortune to bring it to stock heights.
I will be doing local pulling of the 5th wheel roughly 50-100 miles to the campground 4-8 times a year, without any mountain terrain.

Pretty much any Super Duty should be fine for a 30' fifth wheel. Definitely don't need a dually.

[2oldman]

That'd be fine.

You are not giving much info on the HR, or what year trucks you are considering. You need to add more information to your post.
