I'd say so.
2500's are good pullers but they are not known for their payload numbers.
Well my thought is just how heavy is the 4 wheeler, less than 500/600#? If he has the correct tires he could still be with in axle rating and tire ratings. Looks like the stock 17" rims giving him 3,195# per tire, or 6,390# of capacity on the rear axle. Not sure I would push the front axle past it's listed VIN limit as the ball joints are likely the limiting factor. Before passing too much judgement I would like to see a picture of the TV unloaded! Likely did measure from the ground to the top of the 4 wheeler, and lowered the TV for clearance.
I will say last time I saw a setup like this it was an F350 DRW rig. - eDUBzExplorer

I think our senior member has had a senior moment. Hope you make it to where your going, and then I would stay there. The weight of the racks and the fifth wheel hitch, pin weight, and people should have the axels sitting against the bumpers for sure.
