a wagon is way different than a freakin trale trailer dude! A 5th wheel acts totally different than a wagon! I've towed my fair share of hay wagons... hell I've even towed a fully loaded grain wagon with my quad! I'm sure our truck can handle a wagon fine! A wagon puts no weight directly on the vehicle... all you need to be able to do is start it and stop it... a 5th wheel distributes a % of the trailers weight right on to the truck... this can push the truck in all directions even side to side not to mention you don't see wagons flying down the highway at 65mph either!
