The aerodynamics of a 5th wheel is better than a TT...less wind resistance means less load on the truck. The MPG proves that.

If you notice in my signature I have a 5th wheel and I also double tow with my boat behind the trailer. Check out the what do you tow thread and my rig is listed on the first page a few posts down.

Have you taken your trailer to a truck scale, what are the weights? There is no question that the Titan has the power to pull much heavier loads than it is rated for but the payload is the trucks limiting factor. I am over weight by a 150#'s with a 21' 5th (yes it is heavy for it's size). It's not the going that will be a problem for our truck, if they are overloaded, but the stopping.
