I'm guessing you're over your trucks GVWR buy 800lbs. Your dry pin is more than your trucks payload capacity. Add 150-200lbs for a slider hitch. Now that 1440lb brochure pin weight is 1660lbs.

I'd rather have enough truck so I don't have to drive like I have a bowl of fish in the front seat. I'd suggest you look at your trucks door sticker for the CCC rating. Load up the 5'er and then hit the scales.
