Hello, i will be selling both the truck and 5.0 TA in the next few months. Just want to get a feel if there are any interest here in this forum. I am going to get a bigger truck and a bigger 5th wheel. I live in central California, but currently working in central Arizona. I can sell the trailer first, around $45k. Or make an offer. But trailer not available until after early or mid May, 2022. I will live in it in April and May until i finish a contract job.

* overall MPG since i own the truck is 26.1 mpg, including about 2500 miles of towing
* before i started towing, MPG was 27.3 mpg overall, on long road trips without towing i typically get 29-31 mpg. If i cruise at 60mph, i've seen 35-37 mpg over long distance.

* I installed aftermarket transmission cooler, oil catch can
* 4 new all-terrain tires are about 3k miles old
* Transfer case, diff oil, transmission fluid, replaced at 35k or so
* engine oil replaced every 3.5k- to 5k miles
* diesel fuel filter replaced twice, engine air filter replaced twice at least
* Tri-fold hard tonneau cover
* truck rack (for carrying kayaks)
* Both tonneau cover and truck racks can be used at same time
* cloth seats, interior are in very good condition, everything works, no pets/kids
* no dents, no collisions, very little scratch, i am very careful where i park the car
***********************
Truck tows this trailer easily, except on steep uphill. I would drive at 40mph or so up the hill. I have towed 2 other 3000 lbs behind the bumper trailers before I bought the 5.0TA. And the 5.0TA is easier to tow than the other trailers even if its 1000 lbs heavier. I will be spending more time living in a trailer, so i want something bigger with sofa and slide-out and these trailers are 5800-7300 lbs (light weight 5th wheel). It's the reason why i am selling them.
I am looking for about $75k for both, or make me an offer, and ask me question in email.
