Tow Vehicle
I am thinking in towing a 15000 LBS GCWR 5th wheel with a 2011 3500 Chevrolet Silverado durmax 6.6/Alison 3.73, 4x4 crew cab LB. The specs show on the TV the max towing weight is 16800 for a 5th wheel...

The only problem you might run into is the Pin Weight plus other cargo in the cab and bed. 4268 Lbs is the cargo cap of your truck. So you need to load up the TV with everything that would be in it for towing, hitch, full tank of fuel, tool box or anything else carried in the bed, plus all passengers and pets you might carry. Head to the nearest scales and get weighed. Now take that number and subtract it from your gross (should be on the driver's side door pillar) what ever is left over is your true carrying cap. If it less than 3K you have a decision to make: To pull over weight or rethink the whole deal.
Does OP have a Dually or a SRW truck, I didn't see where it stated which it was.
