Pull behind can be difficult to hitch (I suppose for some, not me) generally takes turns and corners better than a 5th wheel and is easier to maneuver and back into a spot. Pull behinds usually are smaller, and you have to watch tongue weight to make sure your truck and hitch can handle it.
There was a guy at PW in Moab who pulled a 5th Wheel with his 2015 PW Laramie. Said it did great. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I pull a 27ft Airstream, tows beautifully with the PW.
Mine tows great except for two things. Higher engine rev uphills compared to my old Duramax. But that is just the nature of gas engines. Power bands are at a much higher rpm than diesels.
And if i go to fast with or without the trailer i feel like the tires get squirrly. I think that has to do with 35s on 17s and so much sidewall. When it starts to flex it just... flexes.
And that is me being SUPER nitpicky.

( about killed his truck going up one of the larger hills in the area). Its a Keystone Passport 3220BH. My understanding is this thing is just over 6,000 lbs so based on info I found online my Durango should be able to pull it 
. Apparently my family hauler Durango has more guts to it then his truck 
. I don't know what year it is, but my understanding is its in good condition. He paid 15K for it and is considering selling. I'm looking at the possibility of taking it off his hands, but wanted some professional advice on what I should be looking for or at if I wanted to make him an offer. Since I don't know any professionals in this department I figured I would ask the group.
