who installed the 5th wheel hitch/plate in the truck?... if it was installed in the right spot, there is no way the truck could "wheelie"....
do you have a short bed pickup or a long bed?....
if the hitch is installed in the correct spot, it will be 1 to 2.5 inches ahead of the rear axle... the further the hitch is outside of these specs, the towing problem will increase exponentially.... too far the the rear and you will have a wheelie problem..
as opposed to a "BUMPER PULL" trailer, the truck should be able to tow a slightly oversized "5TH WHEEL" trailer without problems as long as the hitch is set up correctly... UNLESS its highly mismatched, in which case you would have other problems as well...
