Thank you for all the comments.
The Fifth wheel that we are looking at is light 1300 to 1500 pound tongue weight. So I feel the 2850 payload of the 2500 will be enough. The passenger payload is around 600 and the other stuff in the truck has been around 400-500 pounds putting me at around 2500 pounds of tongue weight, people and stuff. This is based off of my previous trips in the trailer.
Appears to be a better set up, better hooking up and unhooking and the sway debate makes sense since the pivot point is in front of the rear wheels.
Looks like a Fifth Wheel is going to be purchased this spring.
Thanks,

Are the 1300 and 1500 figures dry weights from the brochure or are they loaded weight with gear and cargo in trailer?
