what kind of fifth wheel can I tow with a SRW?

I am getting a full ton RAM but only want the SRW. It will have the diesel and the AISIN transmission, it is a short bed Mega Cab. I just don't want a dually. I would rather have a smaller trailer...

payload is around 4300 so think I'm good there. I read that longer and heavier fivers deserve a dually for stability; up to what length and/or weight would you consider a SRW ok?

If you got that 4300# of the Ram website, it will likely change when you get the truck. Leather trim, bed spray, etc. will drop it. I'm at 4018#. Our 5th is 12,500 GVW, any heavier and I would go dually.
