Is there a separate Ram 5th wheel tow guide

I currently have a ford and for their towing guide they have a separate section for trailers or fifth wheels. Does Ram have this as well - I could not seem to find anything.

I went to Ram trucks and put in the vin# and it says Max Towing - 28,890, so is that for a fiver?

Im looking at a 2015 Ram 3500, 6.7 Cummins, crew cab, 8ft box with 4:10 gears

That 28,890 is for a fifth wheel/ gooseneck trailer. Conventional towing is limited to 18000lbs. That 28k is for a truck with a minimum GVW, a loaded and optioned truck will be less. Here an abbreviated method to calculate

Calculating the Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight for Your Vehicle
1. Start with the gross combined weight rating for your vehicle model and axle ratio.
2. Subtract all of the following that apply to your vehicle:
• Vehicle curb weight.
• Hitch hardware weight, for example a draw bar, ball, locks or weight distributing hardware.
• Driver weight.
• Passenger(s) weight.
• Payload, cargo and luggage weight.
• Aftermarket equipment weight.
This equals the maximum loaded trailer weight for this combination.
Note: The trailer tongue load is considered part of the payload for your vehicle. Reduce the total payload by the final trailer tongue weight.
