I have a 2008 Chevrolet 2500HD, crew cab, standard bed, 4x4 with Duramax/Allison. I have only weighed my truck with a full tank of diesel and nothing else in it, not even me. It weighed 6780. It has a GVWR of 9200#. The way I see it I have only 2420# for people, hitch and anything else I put in the truck including pin weight. I am looking for a 5er, and every salesman tells me I can pull anything on the lot. Don't listen to salesmen. They are either ignorant or dishonest. Manufacturers are just as bad. I saw more than one 5er advertised as 1/2 ton towable. I would have to look hard to see if I could tow them with my 2500HD D/A. Figure weights for yourself. Don't depend on salesmen. It would be nice if we could weigh the trailers before we buy them.
