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...

Even if its a SRW 3500 it will do fine. Some will say you have to have dual wheels. But our SRW Chevy does a great job with our 16,000 lb camper. Pulling and stopping is not an issue. It will hold the speed I start with coming down a 6% grade 5 miles long with just the Allison doing its job.

Agree with what you said but where the Dually comes into play is when you get hit with a side wind going down a 6% grade on a corner or a panic lane change and so on.
Tow once with a Dually and you won't go back to a single rear wheeled truck.
