So, just to update this thread, I decided to pass on the 5th wheel I mentioned. I got my neighbor who works for DOT to weigh my truck with his scales and with a Reese 5th wheel hitch in the bed, a half tank of gas, and maybe a couple hundred pounds of junk in my toolbox, my truck's curb weight is 8,300#!! I never would have imagined that truck weighed that much. I estimate the 5th wheel has a pin weight of 2,100# or more. I would still be under the max rear axle weight by about 450# but I would be over the 10,000# gross vehicle weight by about 400#. And that's not counting passengers so that would probably be closer to 1,000#. I don't really care about the payload that much but I feel like I would be riding right on the ragged edge of the trucks capabilities as far as GAWR and GVWR.
