You really don't need advice.
Since (from another post of yours) it appears you have already purchased a fifth wheel, then what you really need is facts.
Such as weights of the fifth wheel. Pin weight, fully loaded weight. Unloaded figures given by the manufacturer will help here. Divide the pin weight by the unloaded weight and it should show a percentage. Such as 15% or 20%. Then multiply that percentage by the max fully loaded weight rating of the fifth wheel and it will give you an idea of what the pin weight will increase to when the fifth wheel is fully loaded.
Then go find a truck that can handle those figures. Most important fact to remember is how much payload the truck can carry (pin weight).
Most all new trucks can pull the fifth wheel you bought.
BUT can they CARRY the pin weight?
Get the facts and you will know.
