Can't find what tv 5th wheel weight.
Everything including manufacturer list bumper pool weight. And good apps or reference sites to find what something can pull in a 5er hitch

Pin weight of the 5er is an actual weight, and dependent on the unit, tow weight is as well.
The trucks capabilities are straight from the door sticker. Payload capacity is total downward weight in your vehicle allowed as per the measuring system. So as an example
5er pin weight 1500 lbs
Hitch weight 200 lbs
Driver and 1 pass 350 lbs
5er battery (s) 150 lbs
Total 2200 lbs
Now add for junk in your truck bed, additional pin weight for water, clothes, propane, etc in 5er
and then you get to what you are asking the truck to handle for a payload weight.
This is all in separate from the towing capacity.
Yes I overly simplified this but as another means of imagining it.
Payload is all the downward weight of things pushing the trucks frame towards the gound, that your truck is designed to handle.
Towing capacity is all the weight that the trucks engine, transmission, drives shafts and frame are designed to pull forward and that the brakes are designed to be capable of stopping.
Payload is up / down
Tow is back and forth.
