Factory Pin Weight vs. Actual vs. Payload???
Hi, We are looking to get a 5th wheel and a truck. We have a big family so will need a big trailer. Looking at Mid Bunks, and one ton diesel trucks. I really don't want to get a dually if possible....

If you don't over load your RAWR or your tires I wouldn't worry about the payload number. The GVWR is not a legal issue as some would have you believe. Axle and tire ratings are what count. Like many other TC owners my rig weighs in at 1,600 pounds over the GVWR but not over tire or axle ratings. I've traveled thousands of comfortable trouble free miles with it.
I would't give a being "close" to the payload on a 3 series truck a second thought. If we were talking about a 1 series truck where the GVWR is much closer to the actual rating of the much lighter duty axles and other components it would be a bigger deal.
