I could give you a step-by-step on how to weigh and calculate the numbers but, as others have said, that trailer is out of class for a 3/4-ton truck. Our fifth wheel is only 14K GVWR but has a 3,100 lb. pin weight. It was too much for our 2013 2500HD D/A from a pin weight point of view and I felt like I was always on the edge of the envelope (i.e. what happens if I blow a rear tire on the truck?). We traded for a DRW truck and the experience is SO much better. If you choose to exceed the capacities of the truck, you not only put yourself in danger, but the rest of us, too.
