This cost less than most F150 and should handle most of your towing needs. Its 49,805 without the 4 wheel drive.

Just a driver on camping break. I don't think he is pulling that rig with that Kenworth. His fifth wheel plate is still at regular trailer height.

I think the dual rear axle and air brakes will require a cdi.

In our state motor homes over 26K and air brakes require a special DL endorsement. Same for trailers over 10K

You can pick up retired OTR trucks for a song. Just saw this 2006 Volvo 780 super sleeper for $18,500 on craigslist. That thing would tote anything FR makes for about the rest of you natural life.
