Here are some pictures.

I know exactly what you mean. I did not want to replace my hitch so as I mentioned the truck absolutely had to have the prep group from factory. And then it was a battle trying to get a correct answer as to what I would need to make it work as the hitch shop guys did not know what would all be needed. I have a friend that works at a big RV dealer in Calgary that looked into it for me and got it all figured out (a huge thanks went out to him).

No need to worry about pin weight. Check out all the videos.

I think all the advantages of a 5th wheel or gooseneck would disappear and you would complicate the idea of just a bumper pull.

I have a 2010, MEGA Cab,6'4" Box, and a B&W Companion 5er, The 5ver, is 34' and weights 12,5. I am not sure of the pin weight, but will be sure very soon. I am still trying to figure out this machine. I got out of a 7.3 Ford Lariat, where I had a Reese 16k,fixed 5th wheel.
I am a driver and like to make running time, and will run the speed limit and then some. Can't really tell you too much about the B&W, yet. I haven't had to slide it back and I have to jack knife my truck and trailer to put the trailer in the hole at home. I know that to be a fact. I think alot of that short bed can be handled by the pin box you have on your 5er. and also transfer some of that weight back to the trailer axels. I will let you know how all that works out.
