Check your payload available after all the people, dogs, bicycles, tools, etc. are in the truck. What is left is for the hitch at around 250 pounds and the pin weight that will be at least 1900 pounds (20 percent of 9520). Just the fifth and hitch will eat all or almost all your available payload leaving nothing for those inside.
The pin weight for the Open Range Light I am looking at is 1265 lbs. The gross weight of the trailer is 9520 lbs. Nothing in the truck except me, my wife, and dogs. The bed would necessarily be dedicated to the 5th wheel hitch, so nothing else would be hauled back there..
