@FloridaSPL The Ford F150 can handle more payload weight than the Tundra. Ford offers a heavy duty package that can be ordered with the F150 with the 5.0 liter and Ecoboost engines. I see more & more folks towing their 5th wheels with 1/2 tons, although a 1/2 ton may tow it it won't have the durability or fuel mileage of a diesel. Anyways, that was a great great video & very well done! Your handlebar mustache thingy is awesome!

That used to be true, but Toyota designed the new Tundra like a 3/4 ton truck. In fact, the 07-up Tundra is the first 1/2 ton truck that hitch installers agree can handle the stress.

Cool video, really liked it. But I have to ask, isn't it unsafe to use a fifth wheel on a half ton? I only ask this because I know installers of tow booms won't install on a half ton; mainly because the frame does not have enough meat on as opposed to 3/4-ton or a one ton trucks. I figure that was worth asking since tow booms and fifth wheels both require going into the frame.

Yes. The concept works on all trucks. But for weight handling and towing ability you need to check with the trailer manufacturer.
