....2019 3500 4x4 long bed with 20" OEM wheels and crapstone tires. I towed home a new 5th wheel (Keystone Cougar 364BHL which is probably in the 12-13K lbs range. had 2 full propane tanks, half full fresh water, two batteries, no other gear). I am using a Andersen Ultimate gooseneck setup.
What I was really disappointed with was how much 'tugging' i could feel on the back of the truck while driving. ......Dreading every time I hit a rough patch or going over a bridge etc. Tug. Tug. Tug.
I have no experience with the Andersen hitch. Do you have a B&W turnover ball mounted in the gooseneck location or does the Andersen use the OEM round shank gooseneck receiver?
In my 2014 Ram 2500 long bed I towed a 14,000lbs 5er using a Curt Q20 5th wheel hitch and the OEM puck mount system. Sure, I could feel some bumps but never felt chucking or tugging from the 5th wheel. I saw you found the hitch was reversed and hopefully that solves it.
