Bumper pull versus fifth wheel
I pull a 22 ft. bumper pull wt. 3700# with a 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 3.6L gas with no problem. Will my PU handle a 24 ft. 5th wheel?

There is a lot of pessimism here but I have seen people tow more with less and do OK with it in certain circumstances. The ratings cover all towing conditions, many of which you may not experience with your trips.
As for the complaint about 1/2 ton truck brakes not being adequate, they aren't supposed to stop the trailer anyway. But you do need to make sure that your trailer brakes are working well and that you have a good controller. And, drive a little slower just in case. I really haven't had good experiences with electric drum brakes.
