Towing is not the problem, load carrying capacity is!
You simply will not have enough truck for that fifth wheel.
Depending on year, your truck has a GVWR of either 9200 or possibly 10,000 pounds. Loaded with family and stuff the truck could actually weigh north of 7500 pounds. A 17,000 pound GVWR fiver could have a pin weight of around 34-3500 pounds. See the problem?
