Picking up our new fifth wheel on Saturday. First time fifth wheel owners. I was wondering when adding weight to the fifth wheel does this also add weight to the pin? I assume it will. Is there a way ...

Rwake, you still have not given much info on your Truck.
Gas or diesel?
Rear end ratio?
2019 Chevrolet 2500HD. 6.0 gas 410 rear end. Chevrolet specs that you can pull a fifth wheel up to 14200. I will not go over that. The only thing I was concerned about was cargo weight. Although I will probably be pushing the limit I’m hoping to be ok on that too. Like I said I have easy access to scales so I can check my weight. Thanks
Bet you'll be =way= over your tire capacity, even if you're able to stay within the RAWR.
I would also look into adding disk brakes to the 5er for the downhill runs.

I tow 9300 lbs with a Ram 2500 6.4 4.10 gears. No way would I even think about towing 14,000 lbs. My max tow is around 15,400 lbs.
I hope you like the sound of Formula 1 cars, cause thats what your truck will sound like when not going downhill. Except on the flats where it will be fine until you hit an slight incline your 6.0 gas will be screaming for mercy.
