With a SRW 2500 or 3500 and a fifth wheel, the limiting factor is can it handle the pin weight plus weight of cargo. Due to there heavy weights, Mega cabs often have low payloads (cargo carrying capacity). You said your payload capacity is 2,590#. Will this be enough to handle the pin weight and other weight you put in the truck? I can't tell because I don't know what fifth wheel toy hauler you are considering. Even more important to me is will the total of the pin weight and other cargo weight on the rear axle (including the weight of the hitch) make the rear axle exceed the rear axle weight rating (RAWR). If it does make it exceed the RAWR, then you have too little truck for that particular trailer. Good luck on your research.
