The B&W Turnover Ball hitch and Companion 5th wheel are just shy of 300 lbs.
That still leaves me with a bit over 5k lbs load capacity. Now deduct for the extra 80 gals of fuel, I'm still over 4500 lbs available for pin weight. Opps I keep forgetting all that extra junk I throw in the bed. I think I'm getting FAT.
My 1 ton is a little broad in the hips, but that's a dually for ya.
