How can I calculate what size 5th wheel I can tow?

Can I tow it or not. I am somewhat new at 5th wheel camping. I need help from an unbiased opinion. When you talk to a salesman you get one answer and even the Ford dealers tell me different numbers...

Most of the weight added to that new 5th wheel will be in the basement. That means in front of the axle, which means added to the pin weight. That 6,100 lbs the tires can carry will quickly be exceeded.

The trailer you list is in dually territory.
