I think at best you are on the ratty edge of a one ton SRW, but really in DRW territory.
Only reason I say ratty edge of SRW is because 16,800lbs x 20% pin weight is 3360 pin weight. My Ram 3500 has RAWR of 7000 lbs, cargo capacity, I believe is 3400 and change. Unloaded axle weight is 2900 - 3000 lbs, so pin weight on that axle is 6400, 600lbs under RAWR but this 5er along with other cargo (passengers) will clearly exceed typical payload of a SRW.
