I know this subject has been beaten to death, but I could use the opinion of those who know. I have a 2005 F250 Super duty Crewcab, shortbed, diesel, tow command etc. According to the label on the truck it is rated at 9800 GVWR, Frt axle 4850, rear 6100 tow rating 5th wheel 15900 and GCW 23000. I weighted the truck with full tank and me on board at 7140, rear axle 2820, assume extra items plus hitch of 415 that brings the truck to 7555 or 2245 below GVWR. We would like to purchase a 3400RL, but it appears this truck can not handle the weight. I think I would be over the GVWR by 185 (king pin 2430 vs my 2245). I assume that I subtract the 7555 of the truck from the GCW to arrive at max trl wt of 15445 which is within limits. Do we look for another trailer? Thanks for your help.

Yep, that can open a can of worms. I see 3/4 tons every day with 3400s or bigger behind them. I would just say if you're not comfortable with it, either a lighter trailer or more truck.
