Realistically most of us are going to suggest more truck. I just do not believe that GM has made the newer trucks that much lighter! My 2004 scaled at 7500 pounds ready to go. Pulling is rarely the issue. The issues start when that monster fiver pushes you all over the road when you hit some winds, or start down a twisty mountain road. If your saddled with that truck for the forseeable future, pick a fiver with no more than 10,000GVWR.
Well I don't think the suspension on newer 2500's has gotten that soft! In reality I think the OP could be looking in the 12,000 to 13,000 GVWR and still be within the TV GVWR depending on what else they carry with them.
I tow a 5er with a 12,360 GVWR with my 2001, Yes over the GVWR, but still well within axle and tire ratings and no issues pulling stopping or handling.
