According to the towing guide from the manufacturer that I found online, your truck is rated to tow up to 9,900 lbs total. That means you will be able to tow this trailer, but only with limited additional weight. The maximum loaded weight of the trailer will be too much for your truck to tow, so you will need to stay under the 9,900 lbs loaded capacity giving you just 745 lbs of additional cargo from the unloaded vehicle weight.
For your application, I recommend the Curt rail kit # C16418-204 and the Curt A16 5th wheel hitch # C16120. This will give you a light weight and reliable 5th wheel hitch combination confirmed to fit your vehicle. I also recommend the wiring harness # C56000 to add a connection to the bed of your truck for easy connection access.
