You will not get a same consensus on this forum where it come down to a 3/4 ton truck towing a 5th wheel trailer......everyone has a opinion on weights so read between the lines.
I can tell you now as long as your 2500 Mega Cab is OEM .......it can tow a 5th wheel trailer.
Give us some help....thanks

Truck is a 2006. It's GVW is 8800 lbs. That's what the door label says. It's a automatic transmission, 4WD. Hubby says the gear ratio is 373. RAWR is 6010.
Our current travel trailer is a 2012. It's GVW is 8900 pounds.
The fifth wheel is a 2011.
The truck is gas, not diesel.
We are the second owners of the truck. It towed a fifth-wheel at one point because you can tell there was a fifth-wheel hitch in the bed.
