That's the main number I look at. With my dually, I don't know of a 5th wheel that gets close to my rating. FTR, I meant the main number of the two he posted, GVWR and GCWR.

My Dodge dually 1 ton weighs in at 8000. Can the GVWR be less than the towing rating? My dodge is rated at 17k towing, meaning my truck can tow a 17k trailer. That doesn't include the truck weight. I...

I'm not sure where you got your figures, but here is the Ford figures for you're truck. The 350, single wheel, diesel comes in at about 16200-16700, towing. And, airbags, or any other thing you add,...

The hitch rating on most RWs is in the 2600lb range. The Ford single wheel I looked at had a payload in the 4 or 5k range, with a total pull in the 16K range. A 1 ton dually is more than enough...
