Airbags, sumo springs,etc do not increase your capacities. With a 16 K 5th wheel, your loaded pin weight will most likely be in the 20 % or more range of the loaded weight of the trailer, depending on your options nd how much water you intend to carry.



Hitch weight and pin weight are essentially the same, but the hitch weight is distributed better with a weight distributing hitch.


Don't mean to rain on you parade, but you need to be careful when you buy you 5th wheel. That being said, your truck will barely feel the trailer when you are towing it.
