That truck shouldn’t have any issues pulling that 5th wheel, however, I strongly recommend you make sure the frame is in good condition.

The frame under the bed is known to trap water and dirt and if it’s been in the rust belt it’s a also been trapping road brine which absolutely deteriorates steel.
