The pin weight on my 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins is 2320# and if it were much more I would go to a 3500 DRW and be done.

Yup got the truck - beautiful and love it. Reading here from you guys just thinking it won’t do the job. $70 grand is a hard hit if it won’t do the job!. Speaking with the dealer they tell me the pin weight of a 13,000 lb 5th wheel should be around 1800 lbs; but the specs on the trailer say 3300.
Since you already have the truck, you're going to have to re-think the trailer you want. Those are just way too much for a 2500 truck. There =are= some pretty large bumper pull THs, so you may have to opt for one of them. Rule of thumb with FWs is to settle on the FW =first=, then buy the truck to fit.

Or buy a truck like mine and tow what you want. 😉

So being new to the fifth wheel community - haven’t bought one yet because I am concerned that my new truck, 2022 2500 4x4 short bed may not tow it safely. Although factory prepped for the hitch; research is showing that the gross weight of 10,000 pounds would be maxed out.
Considering the purchase of a toy hauler . What concerns me is the weight on the bed.
Truck will tow 20,000 pounds. Units looking at are the RAPTOR 351 or a Logan Toy Hauler.
Thank you for your input.
