Your manual should state what size 5th wheel is recommended for your truck, which might be in the 15,000 range.
I hope you are kidding. 15k# FW meaning approximately 3k# pin wieght not including family, fuel and stuff on a 3/4 ton truck even a brand new one. Nope, Nada, not going to happen. Overloaded every day of the week. You will be over your axle and tire rating both of which are legal requirements
And I'm not a member of the wieght police. Pull an 18# trailer with an '06 dually. At or slightly over GVWR of truck and a couple thousand over GCWR but within tire and axle capacity.
