Which pickup would you use to pull 25ft 13k FW?

If you had a 5th wheel with GVWR of around 13k, what class pickup truck would you use to pull it? 1/2t truck won't do it, this is a no brainer. How about 3/4t truck? I think the pin weight will ...

A "actual 13000" lb 5th wheel trailer will have around 2600 lbs of pin weight and fits in a 250/2500 trucks range as a max.
A 350/3500 SRW would be a better choice.

I seriously doubt a 25' 5th wheel trailer will gross out at 13000 lbs. Even 10k would be a very heavy 25' trailer.
