There was a post on this forum the other day and I believe the poster was referencing a 5th wheel with a pin weight of around 900lbs. That seems awfully light, and we're dealing with my old geezer memory, but I'm sure that's what was posted. The poster may have been confused between a TT and 5th wheel but it may be something to try to search for.
Also, in your situation, the truck you have just has a low GVW. Newer ones are much higher and allow for more pin/stuff weight. Your truck is your limiting factor; it's not a "3/4 tons can't pull 5th wheels" generic assumption.
