Appropriate pin weight when buying 5th wheel?
I am starting to think about fifth wheels for our next camper. We have a 2016 F350 with the 6.7 powerstroke. It’s a shortbed too. The cargo weight is 3470. And the max towing capacity with a 5th wheel...

The Ford engineers have told you what a safe pin weight is. Large safety margins have been used to come up with the trucks carrying capacity there is absolutely no need for you to add to that safety margin. I certainly know of 2011-2016 f350 srw trucks going down the road pulling 25000 lb equipment trailers and it doesn't seem to bother the truck a bit. You should feel very safe and comfortable towing right up to the manufacturer's payload limit.
