Towing capacities aren't realistic, completely unachievable

New to this forum, but looking for advice. My truck is a 2014 F350 SRW. Stated fifth wheel capacity is 15,900. I'm looking to buy a 39 foot 5er that weighs in at 14,400 with a pin weight of 2900. ...

Sorry but the fact is they are "SORTA" right. How you say??? If the 5er is a triple axle the pin weight will be around 15% but on tandem axle 5er's they are 20-25% as mine is.

A post here BEFORE truck and RV purchase may have been a good idea.

Believe me you are not the only one that thinks "TOWING" numbers are ok to go by. It's ALL about what can it carry.
