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.
I know my truck will pull it, I'm amazed at how little pin weight it can take.Then I look at all those trucks pulling way more than they should.
