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. ...

Exactly I was thinking the same thing when I was Younger my Old man was towing an Old Holiday Rambler 5er with a Chevy 3/4 ton "Camper Special" for years and Yeah it was SLOW going but the old Beast did it without ever a problem so Yeah times have changed:)

Remember the days of the heavy Holiday Ramblers, Hitch Hikers and Carriage fivers that were towed with the trucks made in the 80s? What has changed?
