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

    No, this is a dually and I just wanted to know what the max fifth wheel weight I can tow with it.

    That will be bumper tow. Load rating and rear qxle ratings are what you need.
    My 07 quad cab dually scales at 8000 pounds. 11,5GVWR. So that means I can load 3500 pounds without exceeding the GVWR. If your looking at a SRW look at tire load rating too.
