Fifth Wheel
What size 5th wheel can I safely tow? 99 Dodge 2500 4wd Cummins diesel 5.9. I know stopping it is the biggest problem. Considered a pac brake but mechanic said it would be hard on engine? Any opinions...

I just scaled my new to me 01 2500 LB Sport 4x4. 5/8 tank fuel and me. Front axle 4,280# rear 2,680#.
These second gen trucks in reality have 3500 rear spring pack. I towed a 12K Avion Platinum with my 98 12V no bags and it sat level and handled the RV well.
Wow! Only 6,960# makes our 2001 Laramie look like a fatty! Me a full tank and the stuff in the bed box and hitch was about 7,800#, really eats into that (LOL) listed 8,800# GVWR. Last time I scaled we were about 10,000# on the TV still well within the rear GAWR.
