Looking to upgrade to a fifth wheel.
Hi all, I currently tow a TT but am looking to get a fifth wheel. My questions are about "pin weight". My current TV is a 2004.5 Ram 2500 with the HO 5.9 Cummins rated to tow 13,050lbs. GCWR is 20,000...

You can tow a lot bigger TT than a fifth wheel and still stay within your ratings - Just Saying.
That's not what my owners manual says. My 5th wheel tow rating is higher than the tt tow rating.
Yes, but your payload rating hasn't changed; and 10% vs. 20% means you can carry twice as much TT. And everyone knows you run out a payload long before you get to the tow rating. Simple Math.
