You are correct. 15%-25% Gooseneck pin weight on the truck.

But IMO, frame strength is the least important of all the things discussed in this thread concerning capability.

The first three are Brakes, brakes, brakes. Then tires. This is the safety aspect. Then follows cooling and transmission as they are durability items.
