Don't want to drive a dually...
What to keep/use current 2013 2500/////
Then stop kidding yourself.
Your truck is a capable tow platform but you don't have the payload capacity, the GVWR, the RAWR for those trailers.
Realistic that 2500 SRW is good for 13K--14K GVWR 5th wheel trailer.
Figure 20% of 5vrs GVWR for wet pin and stay under 3000# MAX (which is the maximum pin wet your truck can 'carry')
Real world........not mfg. magical marketing numbers.
What is payload (max cargo carrying capacity) listed on YELLOW Tire Data sticker on YOUR DENALI drivers door jamb
Less then 3000#
What is YOUR DENALI GVWR.........9500#
What is the MAX Load Rating of YOUR DENALI rear tires?
Payload, RAWR/Rear Tire Load Rating & GVWR....those are your limitations with your truck (any truck)
