Max Pin Wt on 1999 F350 7.3L Diesel SRW 4x4

Does anybody know what the maximum pin weight is on a 1999 F350 7.3L Crew Cab Diesel SRW 4x4?

I am trying to calculate if this truck can tow a 11,614 lb 5th wheel. We will pull 5th wheel dry at 11,614lbs.

1999 F350 Info
GCWR 20,000
GVWR 9,900
Axle Ratio 3.73
F GAWR 5,200
R GAWR 6,000
Actual Truck Wt (loaded including full gas tank) GVW 8,460
Front Axle (xtra-loaded truck with full tank of gas-will be lighter after all stuff removed (except full tank of gas)I had items that will usually be in wifes vehicle) 5,080
Rear Axle (xtra-loaded truck with full tank of gas-will be lighter after all stuff removed (except full tank of gas)I had items that will usually be in wifes vehicle) 3,560
Tires-285
Have called dealer with VIN number....they don't keep records over 10 years old. Does anybody have one of these trucks and know what the truck maximum king pin weight rating is? I have found the other listed above from info found on web sites and other forums and some off the truck sticker. ....just cant find maximum king pin weight rating for 1999 F350 7.3L Crew Cab Diesel SRW 4x4.

5th Wheel Info-
Dry Weight 10,999
Actual Dry Weight 11,614
GVWR 14,000
Hitch Wt 2,270
Axles (2) 6,000
Tires ST 235/80R 16-E

According to trailer life towing guide. Max towing is 13k. Nothing mentioned about pin weight. Just remember this is with a new vehicle.

You'll have to take the truck to the scales.... weight the rear of the truck empty. Subtract that from the rear GAWR (6000). The remaining number with be the pin weight allowed. Subtract any other weight you put into the truck bed. I believe you will either need a newer (Higher GAWR) or lighter RV.

I always recommend that you use the trailer GVW when calculating pin wt. 20% of that number is a good estimate.

But follow Buds advice and take it and the truck to the scale.

What tires are on the truck as well?

GVWR (9,900) - truck weight (8,460) = max payload (1,440)

You are likely over weight, but you need scale data to confirm.
