91 Shortbed Chevy

They should be the same seat.

My load label says the payload weight is 2793 so that should work. Thanks for the info, all of the numbers are confusing to me. I figured the truck would easily pull it but I wanted to make sure I was both safe and legal in doing so.

The Ram has a hitch but it is a fixed hitch because it has a 8' bed. From what i've heard a slider is the way to go with a 6.5' bed.

The camper is a 2003 Newmar Kountry Star, model KSFW34RLCK. The cargo capacity sticker on my truck says 2793 pounds.

Hi all. I have just purchased a used 5th wheel camper and truck combo (37' Newmar Kountry Star and 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 with V10. I am considering selling the Dodge and installing a 5th wheel hitch to my 2019 Silverado 2500HD with the 6.0 gas. My first question is will my truck legally and safely pull the camper? The camper has a weight of 10,500 pounds according to what I found online. My truck is a double cab 4wd with the 6.5' bed and came from the factory with the 18" wheels. I didn't buy this truck with the intention of pulling such a big camper otherwise I probably would have opted for a 3500 and / or a Duramax. My second question pertains to a slider-style 5th wheel hitch. I've never talked to someone using this setup and am wondering how user-friendly this setup is. Any insight to these questions would be useful. Thanks.

Well haha it kind of looks like it. I guess I should have been specific and said in Indiana where I live. Good luck finding any 20-30 year old anything around here that was used as a year-round vehicle that isn't rusty. Sorry to have not been 100% factual with my post.

The truck may not be rare. However, finding one that isn't completely used up with 300000 miles on it and major rust is rare. These are great work trucks and most get (or got) used as intended. I hope to someday find one in decent shape to use as a daily driver. It is cool that you are saving this one. Good luck!

My best has been 17.2 on a 2-hour trip to Lafayette running 60-65mph. Around town i usually get around 12. My truck has the 6.0 gas, not the diesel obviously!

Guess i hadn't thought about that. That is definitely a nice upgrade to the factory seats though! The only negative is that you can't get the cool 90's pinstriped fabric!

Nice upgrade! I wouldn't have thought those seats would fit this body style. The interior of my 2019 seems so much bigger than the interior of my 1991.

Looks great!

It looks pretty good from the back. How does it look from the side? Great innovation, by the way.
