For those people who have either truck, what would be the max 5th wheel pin weight you would feel safe with? I have been researching but I'm getting conflicting reports online. I figured I would go right to the source.
Thanks,

If you are just now buying a truck and intend to tow a 5th wheel, I would recommend you get a 350/3500 especially if you are planning on a diesel. The price difference is just not that great.
If you already have the truck, then look at the door sticker. It will tell you the payload, then you can figure out the maximum pin weight.
Figure 25% of the fifth wheel weight will be on the pin.
