The pin weight suggested by the manufacturer is usually pretty light. You need to look at the GRAWR, as the rear axle supports most of the weight. Very few of us are set so that the front axle weight is increased when the 5er is hooked up. Load up your truck with fuel, passengers, dog, tools, and whatever else will be in it when traveling and have it weighed by the individual axles. This will give you a good estimation of what the pin weight the truck can tolerate. The trailer factory weights may not include propane and water, so you need to be sure what is included to help make your decision. 20 to 25& over the empty weight on the pin is not unusual.
