Gitane - I have been looking at new GM 3500HD's - not in person, only online so far - and for GM they are 13,025 pounds. Only the regular cab duallies are 13,500 or 13,400 (gas or diesel). This is stated when you do a "vehicle locate" from the GM Canada website and also on the specifications page. Hopefully this link to the specs page works.
I too was looking online at the different options and using the build and price tool I too did find the information you are stating. The only way to get a comparable GVWR with one of the other manufacturers is to option the RAM truck with the 3.42 rear gear which is not useful for towing at all. The Ford has no option to reduce the GVWR I can find online.
I will begin investigating more closely upon my return to Ontario in a week.
It appears that the only choice for large 5'ver owners in Canada wanting to tow with a dually in 2015 is the GM trucks.
