Upgrading everything

Looking for a little advice.
We are looking to upgrade from a bumper pull to a 5th wheel. The trailer maximum is 12995 lbs and dry hitch weight is 1980 lbs. The truck is a used 2014 Ram 2500 Laramie diesel with a mega cab. Tow capacity is well over the 13000 lbs for the truck, however the door sticker states the trucks cargo capacity is only 1800 lbs. The numbers I see on this forum tell me the truck cargo will NOT be enough to safely tow this trailer. I am sure the pin weight will be more than the stated "dry" pin weight when we are loaded. Am I seeing this correctly?

Thanks in advance for advice.
Tom
