I. Don't have that heavy a 5er BUT have used my 2012 Chevy to pull my 30ft gooseneck flatbed close to 28000 lbs several times before retireing in Dec. I had no problems that ever made me think was unsafe or undo able for my 3500HD crew cab.
2012 was rated for a 23000 lb 5er & the newer I seem to recall 23300 lbs.
The duallys are all capable so it just boils down to what you want to spend your money on. I had a customer last year that bought a "big rig" Peterbilt and converted it to single axle,custom bed,hitch,& the stove/fridge required here in Texas to register as MH for right at $20k but he has a shop & pretty handy.Its just what you think is "cool".
