The Ford spec of 15,700 5th wheel is with a 15% pin weight - 15700*15%= 2335 pin weight which is well within you payload. The real world a 5er that heavy going to around 23% pin weight or 15,700 * 23% = 3611 so that would be over your payload. It's not just Ford does it but GMC, Chevy and RAM all use 15%.
