5th wheel pickup and trailer

Isn't it all down to gross vehicle train weight?

A dmax gvtw is 6t and it weighs near 2t so with a 1.5t trailer I could only carry 2.5t? :scratchhead:

So not worth bothering about,what pick up has the highest train weight?
The pickup of doom and dispair... the Land Rover!

Think they seem to be aimed at volume applications rather than train weight. Weetabix haulage (mobile classrooms) rather than bacon (running at 7T at all times), but could be wrong. Think that is where the goose neck might have the edge, where you need to go to max weight now and then, but not always and need floor space.
