Can I safely tow a Fuel 362 with 2020 2500HD 6.6

I am considering upgrading to a 5th wheel Fuel 362, but I have a feeling I will be cutting it too close with a 2020 Chevy 2500HD 6.6 Diesel. Is anyone in here pulling one with a vehicle with same towing capacity?

If not, I think the Fuel 352 may be the better option as dry its closer to 12K vs 14K.

Toys = 1500 pounds

Thanks in advance!

    Not seeing actual truck figures, or trailer GVWRs, I am thinking a dry weight of 12K will be likely limit of truck capability.

    It's really only a game changer on paper. That ballpark of RAWR has been common on 3/4 ton trucks for years, it's just the payload that's been artificially hampered by the 10k GVWR. My assumption on the newer GM trucks is you can still order them with a 10k lb GVWR for all the reasons one might want that configuration.

    Can't really answer OP's question without more info, though.

  • "Pulling" isn't the first issue IMO....payload is. What is your truck's payload limit?
  • Post the Trailer GVWRs
    Figure 22% of GVWR for wet pin
    Post your 2500s RAWR

    Otherwise folks would have to internet search to find that info.

    Your question...you need to post the details

    2020 2500....guesstimate would be 14,000 GVWR MAX
