Towing capacity
Have a 2014 1/2 ton GMC Sierra with towing capacity of 9900 lbs. Fifth wheel weight is 7600 lbs. Is that enough truck to go on passes in Colorado?

It's not towing capacity that you need to worry about. The payload is the major problem and that 5ver could have a tongue weight between 2000 and 2500 pounds. Add the weight of the hitch (up to 200#), the weight of passengers, dogs and miscellaneous stuff and you will be grossly exceeding the payload capacity of that half ton truck. And that doesn't consider the brakes on the truck.
