5er with a 08 chevy 3500 SW duramax?

Question

Thinking of getting a new trailer, want to upgrade to a 5th . However everything I am looking at are a lot heavier than my 9000# travel trailer.

I feel I should of got a dually instead of SW, it's an 08 chevy 3500 duramax crew cab 4x4. Would hate to get rid of it...

Unfortunately that year it was only rated for 14,600 #s.. Any experience out there with this set up? Thanks

I love my SW 2500HD it pulls my 12.5k 5er perfect and I am also under the 22k GCWR

It all depends on how heavy you plan to go and how far you plan to travel.  Airbags on rear axel make ride much more comfortable with real heavy trailers.
