Thanks to everyone who replied. I really appreciate the pointers. I have also come to the conclusion that I would require at least a 2012 3500 Diesel DRW to make all of the numbers work. GCWR of that truck is 30,500. The GVW of the 5er is 14,500. The jetski GVW is 2000. The truck has a GVW of 13,000. Now the math:
Truck GVW - 13,000
5er GVW - 14,500
JetSkis GVW - 2,000
---------------------
Total: 29,500 lbs.
The GCWR of the truck is 30,500 so I'm under on that side of it. I've verified that I'll be under the limit for the rear axle as well - that wasn't ever a problem with this truck. The SRW version of this truck only has a GCWR of 24,500 so I'd be overloaded for it.
Hope this helps out some others as well and thanks again to those who replied!
