There's probably some published numbers somewhere on the rear axle weight but a scale is the best way to tell.
And you can safely and legally tow more than a 10k lb fifth wheel. The payload rating is low on your truck because the GVWR on the 250/2500 class of trucks is restricted to 10k lbs for non-capability related reasons. In truth your truck is identical to a SRW F350 minus an overload spring on the rear spring pack and maybe a set of axle blocks. So what your truck can safely tow is higher than what it's official rated for based on your payload sticker, and going over your payload rating is not illegal nor will it subject you to increased liability. In the states I'm familiar with your weight limitation is based on how you register the truck, although in my state there isn't actually a weight limit on RVs.
This has been beat to death on this board so if you want to read up on it you won't have to look very hard.
