So what am I not understanding conventional trailer weight (13000 lbs)
fifth wheel /gooseneck trailer weight rating (17100 lbs) axles ratings and plow weights (6000 lbs)and maximum payload (2800lbs) truck 2500hd standard box 4x4 SRWthx. Tom
Payload is what will get you. 2800lbs has to include the driver, passengers, hitch, and any gear. With a 2200lbs advertised dry pin weight that leaves 600lbs for people, gear, hitch, and increased pin weight...unless the trailer has zero options and you never load it you will exceed the GVWR and payload.
This isn't all that uncommon on a 2500HD, if it's what you are comfortable with then do it.. just don't exceed the capacity of the rear tires.
