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...

If Ford and the dealer told you that you can tow the trailer don't believe them, tell them to show you the towing specs for your truck, not the stuff on the door jamb. They are in business to sell trucks and will tell you whatever it will take to sell you the truck. Maybe you noticed they wouldn't put it in writing.

Current online towing specs:

Ford towing Specs

Tell the dealer or ford to show you the same info for your truck. The 2015 specs have improved over the 2012.
