It's not so much the length as it is the weights. You'll need the capacities for your truck & the weight of the trailer loaded. You can start by going to a set of scales with your truck loaded with whom ever will be always be in it, full of fuel, & whatever else you will haul in it when towing then subtract that from the trucks GVW & that's what your trailer can weigh regardless of how long it is. Typically 15-20% of a 5th wheel weight will be transferred to the truck as pin weight.
