Fifth Wheel Towing?

Fifth Wheel Towing?
Hey Guys;
I am new so please be easy on me regarding this thread. I am trying ti find out if my truck would be able to pull a fifth wheel trailer about 24 feet long. I am currently driving a 2007 Ram 1500 SLT, Quadcab with the 5.7 Litre Hemi and automatic transmission. I believe the truck is a half ton bed but not 100% sure about that. Would this be able to pull a fifth wheel do you think?
Thanks
Chris

I tow a 24' Keystone (Gross is approx 8000 pounds, with 1100 pound pin weight.)
I have 3.55 gears, 5.7 l Hemi, and Firestone air bags.
I won't say it's not a problem, but I don't have any issues with power or suspension/braking/cooling that I've noticed - except for the 6 - 7 mpg's I get.
I don't do any long distance towing though
