Are we just Too Picky!!
The DH and I are looking to upgrade from our TT to 5th wheel. We just picked up our 2014 3500 HD Silverado 4x4 Diesel. We went that way cause we didn't want to have any limitation for weight on the 5t...

I think you will find you do have some limitations even with a great new truck. GM unfortunately is trailing in the tow capacity ratings when compared to the other two diesel truck competitors (Ram and Ford). I switched from GM to Ram for this very reason. There is of course even more capacity to be had if you wish to venture into a MDT or HDT.
