There is no such rating on the truck. Your GVWR/payload combined with what other weight in the truck determines how much pin you can handle.

figure out what your tow capacity is according to the chart.
Find the 5th wheel of your choice. Figure a good estimate of20% of the trailers GVW for pin wt.
But...you need to find out how much capacity you have on your truck. Get it on the scales.

The only way to know actual pin weight capacity is get your truck ready to tow. Family in, hitch in, gear in, and a full tank of fuel. Then weigh the truck. Subtract that from your GVWR and you have your available payload for pin weight.
