What do I need to tow 5th wheel with RAM 2500 Megacab?

I am entertaining the possibility (not a probability yet) of moving to a 5th wheel with my 2010 Ram 2500 CTD Megacab. I am not sure I am ready to go without using my truck bed; I am just entertaining ...

Megacabs have very limited payload. Figure 200-250 lbs for a slider hitch and you are down in the 1800-1900 range for pin weight. Take the GVWR of trailers that you are looking at and figure 20% will be pin. You will find that you are limited to smaller entry level 5th wheel trailers.

So stay with a bumper pull!
